How to retrieve data from old ".tsd" file in Local Historian Plug-In of PTC Kepware Products

Modified: 20-Sep-2024   


Applies To

  • Kepware Server (formerly KEPServerEX) 6.0.2107.0 to 6.16
  • ThingWorx Kepware Server (legacy) 8.0 to 6.16

Description

  • The hard drive where KEPServerEX and Local Historian were installed failed.
    • I was able to install KEPServer and Local Historian on a replacement hard drive and get the licenses and configuration working.
    • However, I cannot get the datastore in Local Historian to read from the .tsd files from before the hard drive failure.
    • The .tsd files are in the correct datastore folder, but the data does not appear.
    • Due to how we query the Local Historian, we cannot utilize the Import feature.
    • The original hard drive is no longer accessible, though we have an image of the drive from a few months ago.
