Full manual diffs (C50, R30, C60, L20, C40, L35, R10, R20, J10, L30, L50, P30, G10, C10) and read-only checks on the shared R1.05 test server where the permission system allowed them. Skills and summaries moved to R1.05. Issues ISS-092..129 (gaps 104-107, 114-115, 130-131 unused); ISS-074 closed (manual and software agree), ISS-091 corrected by ISS-119. version-differences: unlisted manual changes and installed-only changes. r105-verification: V5-V9 and new not-tested rows.

| history-management | CI Server R1.05 HISTORY Service and item history. Use when the user wants to store item values in history (item storage group, storage group item, Scan/Time, Event/Item, Event/Event, Direct, scan interval, averaging, quality codes, priority), set rollover interval, life time or retention of history, use aggregation (30 minutes, hourly, shift, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly maximum / minimum / average / integral / standard deviation / counter / differential summation, ithsag.sup, completion notification), read history (ITEM_HISTORY, GROUP_NAME, INTERPOLATION, ATTRIBUTE; from applications via ODBC, .NET API, RESTful API or pyTOOLS), load history from CSV (ithloahis), force a rollover, check storage groups and units (hisdbg, his_units, history files h*.his), repair or recover history (hisrep, hisrecover), or archive and retrieve history (has.sup, hasman, hasdbg, tape, DVD, disk archive). Sources IM 36K10L20-01EN, IM 36K10C40-01EN, IM 36K10L35-01EN. |
History management (R1.05; first written for R1.03)
Re-checked for R1.05 on 2026-10-08 (read-only): the three manuals have no content change except
IM 36K10C40 §4.2 (R1.04), which now lists the RESTful API and pyTOOLS for reading history from
applications and drops the C API. The history setup files (has.sup, his*.sup, ith*.sup
incl. ithsag.sup) and the dataset definitions HIS_GROUP_DF, ITEM_HIS_DF, ITEM_HISTORY,
HIS_UNITS are the same as in R1.03 (compared with snapshots of the R1.05 test server; only
the C interface source dsid_ihis_df.c of ITEM_HIS_DF changed, ISS-102).
history_start.cmd and item_start.cmd (and their stop files) differ (ISS-100). Storage
groups were not re-tested on R1.05: the server is shared, and a new group needs a CI Server
restart (ISS-006).
Background: knowledge/manuals/IM36K10C40-01EN.md (storage group fields, types, aggregation,
archive, reading history), IM36K10L20-01EN.md (history manager, files, hisdbg, utilities,
archive administration), IM36K10L35-01EN.md (item history processes and setup files).
Rules:
- Run
system-checkfirst; follow the user's chosen way of working. - Deleting a storage group, a unit or unknown files deletes history for good. Life time changes can delete old units at the next rollover. Only with the user's approval, and never on production data without a backup.
- A new storage group stores nothing until CI Server is restarted (ISS-006): plan the restart with the user (admin).
has.sup/ithsag.sup/ith*.supchanges need admin rights and a restart: hand them to the user (skillportal-setup, taskchange-setup-file.md).
