Align the Archive_AutoArchiveSize and Minimum Archive Size to be based on Tag Count, not Record Number Count

Schedule data archive shifts occur and create archive files based upon a Minimum Archive Size calculation. This calculation is based upon the total count of record numbers. When large amounts of tags are deleted, the total number of tags is reduce...

Allow PIWorld and piusers to be deleted

Nobody should be using the "PIWorld" PI Identity or the "piusers" PI Group. The most that we can do at the moment is disable them. It would be much better if we can just delete them and never look back.

Support for Windows event logging

As a system administrator, I need to integrate PI System logging into my SEIM, so that I can manage PI System events consistent with other applications in a centrally managed system. Most PI System applications leverage the Applications and Serv...

Please add product name (eg 2018 SP2) to the version information in PI SMT

You have to translate between software version (eg 3.4.445.688) and the product name (eg 2018 SP2) by searching for a document in support. It would make sense to show the product name in PI SMT alongside the software version

By default, do not install the PI Module Database Builder when the PI System Management Tools install kit is run

Similar to how the PI DataLink install kit included PI DataLink (Legacy) but required manual modification to setup.ini in order to install it (this was before PI DataLink Legacy was dropped from the PI DataLink install kit entirely), the PI Module...

Make the tuning parameter PointDb_RemoveEmptySource visible by default

This tuning parameter toggles the automatic deletion of unused point sources. By default, it is hidden and the automatic deletion is disabled. Point sources are used mainly for PI Interfaces, which are slowly being replaced with PI Connectors and...

Expose "Tuning Parameters" in AFSDK

It would be very intesting to access tuning parameters (that are present in PI SMT) via AFSDK. This is interesting when you have to manage dozens of PI DA servers and you want to ensure they are all correctly configured (and no change are performe...

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 ...
