What is the primary consequence of disabling historization for an object in the AVEVA Historian?

Disabling historization for an object in the AVEVA Historian means that the object will no longer collect any data associated with that object. This is a critical aspect of the Historian's operation, as historization is fundamentally about archiving data over time. When historization is turned off, the system effectively ceases to record any new data points for that specific object, and as a result, it can no longer provide historical insights or trend analyses related to that object's performance.

Since the primary function of historization is to ensure continuous data collection and storage for future reference, when it is disabled, the object will not generate or store any information in the database. This directly impacts any analysis, reporting, or decision-making that relies on historical data from that object.

The other options provided can cause misunderstandings. For instance, while it might appear that the data would be archived without historization, the reality is that no new data will be generated. Additionally, the historical data is not deleted immediately but will remain available unless action is taken to remove it or the data retention settings dictate otherwise. Configuration settings are also unaffected by the state of historization; it strictly pertains to data collection. Thus, the focus on the impact that disabling historization has
