Hi,

Interesting question, we had some internal discussion about it a while ago.
There can be potential problems when you do a hot switch of the history setting. Therefore the database change is also needed.
But since it's only history data, I would not expect that much potential problems. But we would need some decent unit tests to prove this I guess.

Best regards,

You mean hot-switch as in changing the processengineconfiguration at runtime ? I can understand how this can cause problems, but it's not something i think many people would want to do.
