Installation

If upgrading from version 1.0.0, you should first manually uninstall the previous version.

Windows

For Windows installations, you can use the following Windows Setup application.

Supported Windows operating system versions are:

  • Windows 7 or newer

To install, simply run the installation application and follow the instructions on screen. By default, the application is installed with administrator privileges under the “Program Files” directory. The Installer will create folders ProsysOPC and Historian under the installation directory. It also creates a shortcut entry to the Windows Start menu to run the application in Configuration Mode.

The installer also installs the application as a Windows service, making it available in unattended operation.

Running the Windows Application

On Windows, you can start the application in Configuration Mode from the Windows Start menu.

In Configuration Mode, you can control the Historian Service from the Status view. The service will also start automatically at system start up. Alternatively, you can use the Service Manager of your operating system to start and stop the service.

Linux

The Standard Linux Installation is available as an .sh script that starts the installer.

The Linux installation is mainly tested on the latest LTS of Ubuntu, that as of writing this is 20.04. Other distributions may work.

To install first open the terminal and navigate to the directory of the downloaded .sh file. Then add a file permission to make the installation shell script executable with the command

sudo chmod u=x prosys-opc-ua-historian-linux-1.3.0-41.sh

Then run the installation shell script with the command

sudo ./prosys-opc-ua-historian-linux-1.3.0-41.sh

This will open the installer where you can follow the steps to complete the installation. By default, the application is installed in the folder opt/prosys-opc-ua-historian. The installer works also if there is no GUI, but note that in that case you cannot use the configuration UI mode of the application and must make the configuration on another machine.

Running the Linux Application

On Linux, you can start the application in Configuration Mode from the Start menu of your Window Manager. Alternatively, you can start it from the command line as:

sudo /opt/prosys-opc-ua-historian/prosys-opc-ua-historian --config

Note that in the Standard Installation the application requires Administrator privileges, so you have to run it with 'sudo'. The command line argument '--config' is required to start the application in the Configuration Mode.

In Configuration Mode, you can control the Historian Service from the Status view. The service will also start automatically at system start up. Alternatively, you can run the application without the '--config' argument or (preferably) use the Service Manager of your operating system to start and stop the service.

Uninstallation

Windows Uninstallation

On Windows the application can be uninstalled through the Control Panel or the Apps & features menu, or optionally with the uninstaller that is located in the installation folder.

The uninstallation will not remove the settings and log files that were created.

Linux Uninstallation

On Linux, open the terminal and navigate to the installation folder (default folder is opt/prosys-opc-ua-historian) and use the command sudo ./uninstall.

The uninstallation will not remove the settings and log files that were created. See Section 8.1 for details about file locations.

User Manual

The User Manual for the application is installed into <install_location>/app/doc. You can open it from the Help menu or you can read it here: Prosys_OPC_UA_Historian_UserManual.pdf.
