NextGen Archiver (NGA) Importer

To import the historical values and alerts from HDB/RAIMA to NGA, an importer is required. This help describes the NGA importer and how to select and import data.
Figure 1. NGA Scheme
  • To import the historical values and alerts from HDB/RAIMA, enable the importing functionality of NGA with the check box Automatic import on project start in the panel NGA Migration:
    Figure 2. Check box "Automatic import on project start"
    Note: If you do not use the option Automatic import on project start, then you must manually activate the Importer in the Importer section of the General tab.
    Important: Under Linux, the running lm_ip service is a prerequisite for the importer. Check whether the lm_ip service is running. If not, use the command sudo <winccoa_dir>/bin/lm_ip -a lockmgr -f 600 to start it.
  • Open the Importer panel via System Management > Database > NGA Importer.
    Note: Earliest imported timestamps are lost and are not displayed correctly in the Importer panel after restarting NGA or the entire project.
