    PI UFL ._OK file rename should be after parsing to avoid data loss during shutdowns

    My understanding of UFL (confirmed by tech support) is that it will rename files to ._OK extension before loading lines into memory. This means that if the service is stopped (such as during an update) and it has not completely read into memory an...

    Add TCP option to PI UFL Interface

    Currently the only two options are file reading or a serial interface. But what if you have ASCII data streaming from a TCP/telnet source? The configuration would be almost the same as serial - for the connection, rather than a serial port, just n...

    Selectively install 32-bit versus 64-bit versions of PI programs

    Currently, install kits such as those of PI DataLink, PI AF Client, PI API, PI SDK, PI OLEDB Provider, PI OLEDB Enterprise, and PI SQL Client always install both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Most of the time, one of these versions is unused and...

    Ability to specify default AF database during installation of PI AF Client

    Currently, the PI AF Client installation allows the user to select a default PI Data Archive and default AF server but not a default AF database. It would be nice, especially for silent installations, to be able to specify the default AF database ...

    Please add a DAYOFWEEK function to the UFL interface

    Can you please add a DAYOFWEEK function to the available functions in the UFL interface. This will greatly assist with the handling of daylight savings transitions (e.g. first sunday in April) as there is currently no easy way of determining the ...

    UFL Designer should include a test mode to verify INI behavior with a data file.

    One can do this, to some extent, piecemeal with functionality the UFL Designer already has. However, it's a very manual process and does not actually have a way to show what data would be sent to PI for a particular file. An explicit test mode or ...

    Have a consistent presence of a terminating \ in the PIHOME and PIHOME64 environment variables

    By default, PIHOME is "C:\Program Files (x86)\PIPC" and PIHOME64 is "C:\Program Files\PIPC\". For new installations, please consider either having the terminating \ on both or removing the terminating \ from both. The current inconsistency can con...
