I am setting up a computer for a demonstration and can’t seem to get the history to work properly. I get the error

"The datasource ‘logic\_history’ cannot accept data of the given type [com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.HistoryFlavor@79182719].

Any idea what to fix? I am using SQLExpress, like my development box, and I can’t see any differences between the two.

I found the issue. I had to go into the ignition history configuration page and enable that database as a history database.
