Merging Point History
-
We have have a Mango device that sends data back to our central server and we are looking to update the names and XIDs of the points for the device. This site has a few years worth of data for around 500 points. Once we update the XID for a point on the device it will end up creating a new point on the central server so we will not see the full point history when looking at the new point.
Is there a good way to merge the old point history with the new point? We can export the point history from the data point tab and update the XIDs and then import it using the data import tab but due to the amount of points and the amount of history for each point it would take days to update every point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've written something to do this in the dashboard as a userModule component, but it'd probably be labourious doing it for each point...
But it allowed me to export all of the data from now till some time prior and generate a CSV that I could use to import the data with the new XID. However it still meant mapping the current point name with the new point name...
If that interests you, let me know.
Might be good to tweak it to automate it further for future ease of use....Fox
