Will you have any further details on it?
To run as OPC UA Server, you'll need the latest version of InduSoft (v8.1) and then you'll need to enable the OPC UA Server configuration on your Project->Communications->OPC UA.
There you will configure the connection (ip address and ip of the server) as well as the security specifications so your clients are able to connect to the OPC UA Server.
Also on your tags database (Global->Project Tags->Datasheet View) whenever you have your OPC UA Server configured (Project->Communication) you should see a column so you can specify if those tags should be exposed as READ, WRITE OR READ AND WRITE.
Hopefully whenever you have everything set, your OPC UA Server task should start automatically when you run your project.
