Register the Archive Databases for Reporting
Before an older archive database can be used for reporting in PME, it must be registered in the system.
Distributed System Note: Run the script on the Database Server.
To register an archived database for reporting:
- Run the following script in the SQL Server Management Studio for each archive database:
USE <Name of Archive Database>
Update Registry set Value ='ION_Data_Archive' where Value = 'ION_Data' - Open the PME Reporting Configuration Manager to verify that the archive database is available.

The following image shows PME Reporting Configuration Manager after running the script.
