Moving Tags Between Data Stores

About this task

You can move tags from one data store to another. However, moving a tag does not automatically move the data associated with it. If you want to retrieve the data stored before the tag was moved, you have to move the data manually using the migration utility tool.

To Move a tag between data stores

Procedure

In the Tag Maintenance page, select a tag.
Select Advanced.
In the Data Store field, the existing data store that the tag belongs to is displayed.
From the Data Store drop-down list box, select the data store you want to move the tag to.
A message appears asking you to confirm the change.
Select Yes.
The Data Store field is highlighted in Blue indicating that the change has been made.
Select the Update button.
A message appears indicating that the data store will change for the tag, but the old data has to be manually moved using the Migration Tool (MigrateIHA.exe for 32 bit or MigrateIHA_x64.exe for 64 bit).
