What must be true for historization to function properly for an engine in AVEVA Historian?

For historization to function properly in AVEVA Historian, the engine must be configured with the appropriate settings. This configuration is critical because it ensures that the engine is properly set up to collect, store, and manage data efficiently. The settings might include parameters such as the data sampling rate, the history storage location, security configurations, and any other relevant thresholds or protocols that dictate how data should be captured and processed.

Having the correct configuration allows the Historian to interact seamlessly with the data sources, ensuring accurate and timely logging of historical data. Without these configurations in place, the engine could fail to record necessary data points or may not function as intended, leading to incomplete or unreliable data records.

The other considerations, while possibly important for overall system functionality, do not directly impact the core aspect of historization like proper configuration does.
