Troubleshooting Archive History Issues

Error	Description	Resolution
No Records are returned.	No Records are returned when the history is known to have been collected by ACM.	Verify the search parameters are correct including the meter and its id. Verify the archive history process is running. See Archive Management Tab of the ACM user guide for details.
Inconsistent field data or the record columns are not showing in the main table.	The record set returned had data columns (record field data) that did not match across all records. Its not possible to display a uniform set of columns so they are not visible.	Modify the search (date) parameters to only include records with consistent field data.
Service Not Reachable	The Archive Management service is not reachable as configured or is offline for some other reason.	Verify the service port and host are configured correctly here.
