We are planning to install InfoBatch 4.1 as a reporting package for our site. It will retrieve data from the DeltaV Continuous Historian and Event Chronicle.
We are not using DeltaV Batch for report generation, so our plan is to install the InfoBatch package on our App Station, which already hosts the DeltaV historian database. Our current system is DeltaV v15 running on Microsoft Server 2022.
Are there any concerns, compatibility issues, or recommended steps we should be aware of when installing the InfoBatch package on the App Station?
Any guidance or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.
I did this last year on a v15.LTS on an App Station on Server 2016 (Server 2022 is also supported). Didn't have any compatibility issues with DeltaV although there are some extra pre-installation steps that weren't in the Infobatch manual.
dotNet 3.5 is not installed with DeltaV, can be installed via powershell:
import-module servermanager
get-windowsfeature web-asp-net
--- previous command will tell you if it is installed or not. If not installed use the following to install:
add-windowsfeature web-asp-net
dotNet 4.8 - Should already be installed by DeltaV install of v15.LTS. Confirm within powershell:
(Get-ItemPropertyValue -LiteralPath 'HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full' -Name Release) -ge 528040

After this point everything was in the Infobatch manual but you will need to have an active support account with Informeteric to get the SQL database (ISDVHisDB) that needs to be added.
