Add option to select interface behavior for bad timestamps (PI RDBMS)

When the PI RDBMS Interface gets a bad timestamp from the source RDB that it cannot coerce into a PI Timestamp, the interface attempts to use the current timestamp instead and logs the following error: "pitm_settime() error - 15002. Using current...

Accept weeks and years in the relative time syntax for history recovery start and end times

For whatever reason, times such as *-1w or *-1y are not accepted, but times such as *-1mo and *-1d are OK. Please make the PI Interface for RDBMS accept the same relative times that other PI programs accept.

PI AF Security - More Granularity Needed

It would be helpful if AF's security model was more granular. For example (and please correct me if I am wrong), the same settings that allow someone to add/modify UOMs in AF is the same setting that allow someone to change the AF Sever name. This...

Support for data classification

The new RDBMSPI param:  /SYNC_TIME=rel_start_time,rel_end_time   for instance /SYNC_TIME=*-6h,*+1h When set, the interface: - after each execution of a query, which shall have the same "floating" window in its WHERE clause; for insta...

Accept the dd-mmm-yyyy format in the absolute time syntax for history recovery start and end times

The PI Interface for RDBMS currently accepts the format dd-mmm-yy but not the format dd-mmm-yyyy for history recovery start and end times. The former format lacks the century, so the year is ambiguous. The latter format solves this problem and so...

Improved handling of PIBUFSS initialization

We have encountered a situation where we were unable to write out-of-order data to PI through the buffer subsystem from an interface, apparently because the buffer subsystem was not yet fully initialized when the interface connected to it. Please ...
