    Running PI System within Docker

    Run the PI Server within Docker (https://www.docker.com/) to get better economies of scale.  Might already be possible, but need advice supporting this architecture.

    Please add product name (eg 2018 SP2) to the version information in PI SMT

    You have to translate between software version (eg 3.4.445.688) and the product name (eg 2018 SP2) by searching for a document in support. It would make sense to show the product name in PI SMT alongside the software version

    Skip Numbers in Digital State / Digital Set

    There are other similar ideas out there on this site but I would like to see the ability to skip numbers in the Digital States Enumeration. We have areas of the plant that have states which don't map well to a 1,2,3.... set of states. Some are bit...

    Allow PI Points to use the UOM database in PI AF

    The Engineering Unit attribute of PI Points does not offer the same robustness as UOMs, which are only available in PI AF. Also, the user must set both the PI Point Engineering Unit and the element attribute UOM manually and separately, which is r...

    Remove deleted PI Identities from everywhere that they are used

    Currently, if you delete a PI Identity that is still being used, the deletion will succeed and the PI Identity gets renamed to a number everywhere that it is used. This doesn't do much good, since the number does not reveal what the PI Identity us...

    Provide "Point Last Accessed" information to determine clients' use of PI Points

    It would be useful to be able to determine when (or even if) a PI Point was last accessed by a client application to retrieve its data.  This would enable redundant points to be identified and removed. Alternatively/additionally some form of...

    Add option to clear buffer errors to the Buffering Manager

    Currently users have to use the command line tools to clear buffer point errors. It would be useful and enhance O&M if these errors could be cleared directly from the UI rather than just viewed.Bonus points for allowing users to clear all, mul...

    Use the HTTPS versions of links in "Help link", "Support link", and "Update information" in Control Panel → Programs and Features

    In Control Panel → Programs and Features, when you click on the PI programs in general (i.e. not just those that are part of PI Server), you will see that most of them use an HTTP link for their "Help link", "Support link", and "Update information...
