    EMDVB - Add Option to End Procedure EF with batchview.endtime equivalent instead of when it's unloaded from the BOI

    Currently the EMDVB interface will not end the parent Procedure level event frame until the batch has been unloaded from the Delta Batch Operator Interface. It is very common for users to leave batches loaded for quite a while which causes batches...

    EMDVB Data Type Enhancement

    Please include option in the DeltaV EMDVB interface that can handle the timestamp format used with .evt files. Currently, if in the interface a trigger is used with a property, the timestamp format in the .evt file is retained, which cannot be sto...

    Restrict Batch interface from creating Event Frames using illegal characters

    The PI Interface for Rockwell FactoryTalk Batch in processing evt files used a hexadecimal character of 1f in the generation of an event frame. This results in an error when attempting to export the event frame in an xml output.

    Make the AF SQL scripts available for download in the Customer Portal

    The current AF Server versions require running the AVEVA PI Server Integrated Install Kit in a machine to extract the Go.bat SQL scripts. This can be a concern in highly restricted or validated environments, where customer might not be able to run...

    File name extensions "_OK" and "BAD" / Deletion of correctly read lines

    We operate a UFL interface that evaluates CSV files with additional analysis data and reads data for existing PI tags, storing the values (including timestamps) in the PI server archives. Our UFL interface is not permitted to create PI tags. I hav...

    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...

    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...

    Remove PI System Explorer (Legacy 32-bit) from PI AF Client

    When PI AF Client is installed, it includes a program called "PI System Explorer (Legacy 32-bit)". Please remove this from PI AF Client. The continued support of 32-bit PI AF SDK makes sense, since 3rd-party programs may still depend on the 32-bit...

    The PI Server Installation kit should list the PI software requirements sooner in the install

    As a PI System Administrator, I would like the PI Server Installation kit to list out any PI Software that will be included with a selected role or feature before the Summary step so that I can determine what will be installed without having to fi...

    Alert user when the interface discards values

    Example:  When using a distribution tag, the number of tags returned and number of values sent to PI can be mismatched, due to missing aliases or data that does not need to be collected. It would be helpful to identify what values are droppe...
