Hi All
Ignition Edge is sending data to historic data provider in full gateway.
After importing Edge Vision project to full ignition gateway i noticed that trends keep referring to [Edge Historian] but this format does not work in the full Gateway.
Full gateway format is [ name of history provider / edge gateway name : edge]
I could spend couple of hours changing these path manually and hopefully not braking anything but i wonder if there is any other smarter way to make it work like gateway history configuration changes?
I explored varies types of history providers but no solution as yet.
I wish Ignition could be exported to the flat file and then some regular expression used for quick changes en masse ...
I guess there is no solution really other than manual change of the source in each trend...
Can of coffee ready - time to start donkey work 
Can you not just find and replace the historical paths?

yes that is a good suggestion
i started manually replacing a few trends source path but then end up with full and widest possible search to replace original edge historian path with my custom historian path.
If project is complex do you know the limitation of the search/cross reference functionality in Ignition?
There's no real cross reference in Ignition as far as I'm aware, and changing tag properties ifrom search and replace isn't easy, though the new tag report tool makes finding tags a lot easier. To be honest searching for stuff in ignition is not that great.
I only ever use it for scripting or view properties/bindings. Pretty much like this exact use case.

tag report tool makes finding tags a lot easier.
can you please share what extra functionality does it give?

Everything about that tool should be here. It's reletively new. I think you need ignition version 8.1.19 or later to use this.
