    • Method Detail

      • getProperty

        <T> T getProperty​(Property<T> prop)
        Returns the configured or status property requested, or the default value if no further info is available. Most of these properties are defined in HistorianProperties.
      • getStorageStatus

        Status getStorageStatus()
        Returns the status of the storage system. If the system does not support storage, NotAvailable will be returned. If this is the case, calls to createStorageSession will fail.
      • getQueryStatus

        Status getQueryStatus()
        Returns the status of the storage system. If the system does not support querying, NotAvailable will be returned.
      • initialize

        void initialize​(PropertySet historianProperties)
                 throws java.lang.Exception
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception
      • shutdown

        void shutdown()
      • register

        void register​(java.lang.String tag,
                      PropertySet properties)
               throws java.lang.Exception
        Provides information about a path. May be called before or after values have been stored, will replace any previous information stored for a path. The property values are usually defined in HistorianProperties.
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception
      • unregister

        void unregister​(java.lang.String tag)
                 throws java.lang.Exception
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception
      • createStorageSession

        StorageSession createStorageSession()
                                     throws java.lang.Exception
        Used to store values to the historian. Should be used for the immediate set of values and then closed. It should not be held open for longer than necessary.

        It implements AutoClosable, and should often be used in a try-with-resources block, such as:
        try(StorageSession s = historian.createStorageSession()){ s.store... }

        Important: Not every historian will support storage, some are read-only. This can be checked by calling getStorageStatus() and checking the return for "NotSupported".

        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception
      • delete

        void delete​(java.util.List<java.lang.String> paths)
        Deletes the tags and all data for the specified paths. Paths may be wildcards using "*". Only expected to work if the historian supports storage, as indicated by getStorageStatus().
      • browse

        java.util.List<java.lang.String> browse​(java.util.Optional<java.lang.String> filter)
        Returns a list of paths with data stored, optionally matching a filter.
        Parameters:
        filter - a wildcard ("Tag*") based string that will be used to filter tags. If empty, all paths will be returned.
      • query

        QueryResult query​(java.util.List<java.lang.String> tags,
                          long startTime,
                          long endTime,
                          boolean includeBounding)
        Queries the values for the given paths over the specified span of time. The implementation will conform to the following rules:
        1. If endTime is less than start time, results MAY be provided latest first. If that is not possible, the parameters will be swapped and values returned as normal.
        2. The result will have a unique PathInfo item for EACH of the paths passed in. If a path is specified multiple times, it will be returned multiple times.
        3. If a path is not valid, the query result will return ONE DataPoint for the query start time with a quality of 404 (NOT FOUND)
        4. The timestamps for a given path will be ascending, though between paths they may not be.
        Parameters:
        includeBounding - if true, the closest value previous to the start time will be returned, as well as the closest value following the end time.
