For a large Configuration Hub setup, it is recommended that the network speed is 1 GBPS.
- If you are using a single node setup, then it is recommended to use 32 GB RAM.
- Ensure that you are using the same hardware requirement for the mirror node as well.
- You must have a minimum of 10 GB free space available for the data archiver to start.
- Many desktop-class computers are not certified to run Windows server. Check the Microsoft website and your computer hardware vendor website for possible conflicts between your hardware and Windows server. These specifications are sufficient to meet the needs of a small pilot application. However, production system requirements may be significantly different depending on many application-specific factors. Please contact your product manager to review the requirements of your application.

* For customers using iFIX, there was a change in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry values for WebSpace and it will no longer work with the existing SIM. Ensure that you get the latest iFIX SIMs. The following article provides additional instructions: https://ge-ip.force.com/communities/en_US/Article/iFIX-Webspace-Strict-Historian-Authentication
** For Plant Apps customers using the ‘Historian Type = ‘GE Proficy – Historian 3.0’
to connect to Historian 7.2, both the Enabled and Disabled options for Enforce Strict Client Authentication selection are supported.
** For Plant Apps customers using the ‘Historian Type = ‘GE Proficy – Historian’ to connect to Proficy Historian 7.2, only the Disabled option for Enforce Strict Client Authentication selection is supported.
In Historian 5.0, the Historian HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry key values were changed. The programs accessing the server collection through the SDK are unaffected. Any program or script that directly accesses the registry keys or any Terminal Server login scripts that try to configure a list of servers by importing registry keys directly will no longer work. Such programs need to access the server collection via SDK calls, not directly.
Historian REST APIs are required to integrate between Historian and Operations Hub. Historian REST APIs are installed automatically when you install Historian Web-based Clients.
