    Tech support often asks customers for message logs in bulk. The PISDKUtility and SMT are not good for this because they run out of memory if you try to load too many messages. The only way to export the logs is to use the command line pigetmsg uti...

    2 timestamps for future data tags

    Currently, if you want to store predictions for 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, etc. into the future, you must create a different PI tag for each distance into the future. Future data tags should support 2 timestamps: the timestamp that the predicted valu...

    Allow bi-temporal data archiving

    PI DA Server should allow for more flexibility in terms of the format of archived data. A big advantage would be if PI could archive two timestamps per event. One timestamp will come from whatever the data source is (PI Interfaces, fiels devices, ...

    Thresholds for PI Points

    It would be nice to have threshold attributes for pi points. Then we could configure that values received from the source outside this limits would be ignored (not stored), substituted by the respective threshold value or even by an "Over\Under Ra...

    PI Server should recover from any ungraceful shutdown

    While the recovery mechanism for queue corruption is much more robust on newer version of PI Data Archive compared to previous versions, there are still few cases where PI Data Archive does not fully recover from ungraceful shutdowns. PI Server sh...

    Reduce archive file size by eliminating unused record numbers
