# Wonderware Historian Backend — RETIRED > **This backend has been retired.** The bespoke Wonderware TCP/ArchestrA historian sidecar > (`OtOpcUaWonderwareHistorian`) and its `Driver.Historian.Wonderware*` projects — plus the vestigial > `Historian.Wonderware` driver type — were removed. **HistorianGateway is now the sole historian > backend** for OtOpcUa (read, alarm-write, and continuous historization). ## What replaced it OtOpcUa now consumes the **`ZB.MOM.WW.HistorianGateway`** sidecar through the Gitea-feed **`ZB.MOM.WW.HistorianGateway.Client`** gRPC package (`historian_gateway.v1`), behind the `IHistorianGatewayClient` seam in `ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Driver.Historian.Gateway`: - **HistoryRead** → `GatewayHistorianDataSource` over the `ServerHistorian` appsettings section. - **Alarm history** → `GatewayAlarmHistorianWriter` (the gateway `SendEvent` path) behind the durable `SqliteStoreAndForwardSink`; alarm-history `ReadEvents` needs the gateway running `RuntimeDb:EventReadsEnabled=true`. - **Continuous historization** → a crash-safe FasterLog outbox + `ContinuousHistorizationRecorder` draining to the gateway's `WriteLiveValues` (`ContinuousHistorization` section); needs the gateway running `RuntimeDb:Enabled=true`. - **Tag provisioning** → `AddressSpaceApplier` fires a non-blocking `IHistorianProvisioning` `EnsureTags` hook for added historized tags. The gateway API key must carry the scopes `historian:read`, `historian:write`, `historian:tags:write`. ## Where to read now - **[../Historian.md](../Historian.md)** — the full historian guide (read path, alarm path, continuous historization, config keys, migration note). - **[README.md](README.md)** — driver / back-end overview. - **[../ServiceHosting.md](../ServiceHosting.md)** — deployment (the historian backend is the external HistorianGateway, not an installed sidecar). ## Migration Deployments that carried the old `ServerHistorian` Wonderware keys must rename them: | Old (Wonderware) key | New (gateway) key | |---|---| | `ServerHistorian:Host` + `:Port` | `ServerHistorian:Endpoint` (`https://host:5222`) | | `ServerHistorian:SharedSecret` | `ServerHistorian:ApiKey` (supply via env `ServerHistorian__ApiKey`) | | `ServerHistorian:ServerCertThumbprint` | `ServerHistorian:CaCertificatePath` (+ `UseTls` / `AllowUntrustedServerCertificate`) | The `AlarmHistorian` section's old Wonderware connection keys (`Host`/`Port`/`UseTls`/`ServerCertThumbprint`/`SharedSecret`) were pruned — remove them; the SQLite store-and-forward knobs are retained and the downstream connection is now sourced from `ServerHistorian`.
