Recommendations related to managing points

When managing points, pay attention to the following recommendations:
  • Always stop the data collection before you intend to change the Historian configuration or manage points either in the Historian web client or the System Management Tools of FactoryTalk Historian SE.
  • Make sure that you never delete the
    FTHMEScanRateDefinition
     tag or other system-generated tags with names such as
    bae9cf24-c8b3-46c0-ad5d-a64df2174ed9
     and values such as
    No data
    . The
    FTMEScanRateDefinition
     tag is a system-generated tag that contains scan class definitions. If it is deleted, all scan class definitions will be removed. Deleting other system-generated tags will cause the system log to overflow with error messages.
  • Every time the point configuration is changed you should expect data interruption.
