I am using a trial gateway license. I created a database connection in the gateway to MSSQL server. The connect status is valid. I then created a blank project in the designer. In the tag browser I added a tag from the sample\_device. I see the tag values changing in the tag browser. When I go to edit the tag and enable History then the storage provider drop down does not show my database. It only shows None. Can anyone suggest what could be wrong?

Thanks

Do you have a historical provider configured? Check that there's something in the list at

`gateway_webpage:port/web/config/tags.history`

Thank you. I only see gateway\_webpage:port/web/config/tags.realtime. I dont see the /tags.history

I am thinking if this is due to I dont have tag historian module

Someone else can confirm, but I bet you're right.
