If you have been using the Historian 1.0 included in the openPDC, want to upgrade to Historian 2.0 in the
openHistorian, and want to keep access to your old data from the openHistorian, you need to convert the
database openPDC is using so that the openHistorian can use it. Here is how you do it:
1. Stop the openPDC and openHistorian services.

Make a copy of the openPDC database.

Use the openHistorian Configuration Setup Utility to have the openHistorian use the copy of the
openPDC database. Uncheck the "Start the openHistorian" and "Start the openHistorianManager"
boxes at the last step

Start the openHistorian Manager.

Go to  Inputs  ->  Subscription Based Inputs  ->  Create Internal Subscription .
Enter "PDC" for the  Name  and  Acronym , enter "xyz" for the  Hostname  (This will be changed later),
enter "6165" for the  Port , leave the  UDP Port  checkbox unchecked and save.
Select "PPA" as the  Historian  and save.

Go to  Inputs  ->  Browse Input Devices .

For each input device that is not a concentrator, change the  Concentrator  to "PDC" and save.
 Disable all concentrators besides "PDC".

Go to  System  ->  Manage Nodes .

Change the port numbers to 8510, 6175, and 5019 and save.

Go to  Outputs  ->  Historian Instances .

Select "PPA", change the  Type Name  to "openHistorian.Adapters.LocalOutputAdapter" and
the  Assembly Name  to "openHistorian.Adapters.dll" and save.
Go to  Inputs  ->  Browse Input Devices .
Select "PDC"
In the connection string, change the  server  from "xyz" to the machine that the openPDC service is
running on, in my case, localhost.

Restart the openPDC and openHistorian services.
