Introduction
Wonderware Historian Server provides Summary replication to store and retrieve summarized data so that you can access and analyze
the data quickly, without having to perform ad-hoc calculations on the fly. Summary replication involves analyzing and storing statistical
information about tag values based on specified time intervals, called calculation cycles. The summary results can be stored on a Tier-1
(local) Historian, or sent to a Tier-2 (remote) Historian to be stored with the timestamp of the cycle.

There are two types of summary replication: Analog summary replication and State summary replication. Analog summary replication
produces summary statistics for analog tags. The statistics relate only to the recorded interval. State summary replication summarizes
the various states of a tag value. State summary replication can be applied to analog (integer only), discrete, and string tags.

Using local replication, Analog and State summary data can be stored for quick retrieval by configuring replication tags that correlate with
the source tag (Figure 3 below). This Tech Note shows you how to configure the Historian Server to replicate analog summary data
locally using a local Replication Server.

Application Versions
Historian Server 10 or later

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP3 (32-bit)

-or-

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (32-bit)

Note: This Tech Note assumes that you are familiar with Wonderware Historian Server and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. If
you have any questions regarding the Microsoft SQL Server, contact Microsoft Technical support at www.microsoft.com for further
assistance.

Procedures
1. Open the ArchestrA System Management Console (SMC)

2. Expand Historian\Historian Group\<Computer name>\Configuration Editor\System

Configuration\Replication\Replication Servers\Local Replication\Analog Summary Replication (Figure 1 below).

3. Right click the desired calculation cycle. In this example we use 15 Minutes.

4. Click Add Multiple Tags. The Add Multiple Tags – Step 1 of 2 – Select tags to replicate wizard appears (Figure 2 below).

5. Click Find Now to show all analog tags in the Found Tags panel.

6. Select teh tags you want to replicate, then click the > button in order to add the tags to the target tag list.

In this example, we use ProdLevel, ReactLevel, and ReactTemp.

7. Click OK. The Add Mutiple Tags – Step 2 of 2 – Create replication wizard appears (Figure 3 below). Figure 3 shows the
destination tag names to which the source tags will be replicated.

Destination tags are provided with a suffix corresponding to the calculation cycle such as 15M. You can override the default values
shown in Figure 3.

Monitoring Local Replication

1. On the left pane of the SMC, expand Configuration Editor > Tag Configuration > Analog Summary Tags. The newly-added
tags are displayed in the right pane.

FIgure 9: LOcal RePlIcatIOn

The panel includes the following columns:

Replication Server: The name of the remote replication server, or "Local Replication" when replicating locally.

Status: The status of replication to the replication server.

Total Tags: The total number of tags being replicated to the replication server.

Values/Sec: The average number of data values replicated per second.

Sync Queue Values/Sec: The average number of synchronization queue values replicated per second.

Total Values: The total number of values being replicated.

Querying AnalogSummaryHistory
Analog summary replication produces summary statistics for analog tags. The statistics relate only to the recorded interval. You can
retrieve the following statistics:

Time-weighted average

Standard deviation

Integral

First value in a period with timestamp

Last value in a period with timestamp

Minimum value in a period with timestamp

Maximum value in a period with timestamp

Start time of summary period

End time of summary period

file:///C|/inetpub/wwwroot/t002669/t002669.htm[7/17/2012 1:04:38 PM]

OPC Quality

Percentage of values with Good quality

Value

When you retrieve the data, you specify which calculation you want to return. The AnalogSummaryHistory view allows you to return
multiple statistics for a single tag within a single query. The following query returns the minimum, maximum, and average values for the
SysTimeSec tag for the last minute.

SELECT StartDateTime, EndDateTime, Tagname, OPCQuality, Minimum as MIN, Maximum as MAX, Average as AVG
FROM AnalogSummaryHistory
WHERE TagName = 'ProdLevel.15M'
AND StartDateTime >= dateadd(minute,-30, GETDATE())
AND EndDateTime <= GETDATE()
