    Allow PI Buffer Subsystem (pibufss) to be managed by Powershell tools for the PI System

    Powershell is a convenient way to administer a PI Server. One limitation, however, is that there is no built-in functionality for administering pibufss with powershell. Please add PI Buffer Subsystem (pibufss) management to Powershell tools for th...

    several Instances for PI Relay

    Having the PI Relay for OPC UA Connector running on a different machine than the actual connector is a good Idea, as we are now able to provide Windows credentials for AF Access without Credential manager. On our Site we are running several small...

    DeltaV Smart Connector Enhancement

    I think it would be a good idea to allow exception settings to be created. The DeltaV history collection settings only allow for compression. Since many/most users use 1/2 compression for their exception value then perhaps we could have a check bo...

    Improve performance of creating large numbers of new tags

    I have three large customers who have experienced PI Data Archive performance issues when large numbers of tags are being created. Specifically, record locks seem to take an extra large time (e.g., more than 15 minutes) to clear, and data updates ...

    Uni-Int to write to scan-class health tags on startup

    We've noticed this particularly with the RDBMS-PI interface when configured for failover: Health tags that are only written to when the interface becomes primary or has completed its first scan (eg Point Count, Scan Class I/O Rate etc.) say 'Intf ...

    Separate commonly used PI Interfaces that do not have a successor into read-only and write-only versions

    Currently, it is recommended to use the read-only version of a PI Interface if only reading is required, and to have separate read and write instances of the read-write version of a PI Interface if writing is required. (Reference: https://docs.osi...

    MarkArchiveGaps tuning parameter description should be more descriptive

    The description for the MarkArchiveGaps tuning parameter for a value of 2 is unclear. A user might interpret: 2 - Gap markers only when there is an actual gap between two consecutive archives. to mean that markers are shown when a tag does not h...

    Remove the PI Interface Configuration Utility (PI ICU) from the PI System Management Tools (PI SMT) install kit

    PI System Management Tools is more of a client-side program, so it does not make sense for it to be packaged with a server-side program like the PI Interface Configuration Utility. This increases the size of the install kit, increases the extracti...

    Allow OMF Health Authentication on PI Interfaces to Negotiate

    Currently the OMF Health feature of PI interfaces only allows the interface to connect to the PI Web API OMF endpoint using Basic authentication. It would be good to see negotiate and windows authentication as an option like PI Adapters have to co...
