Hi all,

I just created a new DB Connection and Tag History Provider to go with it. However, the new History Provider does not show up on the list when I go to change the Tag's history storage provider.  
So, I checked all the settings in a known working storage provider and compared with the new one. Everything looks the same, except for the names, of course.

What else could I be missing? I have not found any nuggets in the docs, as of yet, to inform me why it would not show on the list.

Thanks.

Have you restarted your designer?

LOL, yes. And just for good measure I restarted the Launcher as well. Not that that would really have anything to do with it.

Think I just realized why. The licensed Gateway is a remote tag provider for the Designer.
