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...

Easy selection of PI Archives to Backup

Currently, if we want to do a backup of an archive in SMT, we have to tick it. But the customer may has like 500 archives and wants to copy 100 of them. There is currently no friendly-user way to select multiple archives (without unregister them) ...

PI SMT - Archive Editor Improvements

Why is the second server of all selected servers the default selected server for the archive editor? (C# index 1 instead of 0?) If I leave the Tagname empty and press the search button the tag search dialog opens fine. But if I enter some text at...

Increase Box Length for Tagname Field in Archive Editor

Expose connection history information to PI SMT

As PI System administrator, I would like to know the number of clients connection given a time frame. (e.g. * -1 month) Currently, this is only exposed to the pidiag command line utility. It would help me as a pi system admin to see it within a us...

Replace "timeout parameters" with "tuning parameters" in the description of the PITUNING Database Security table

In PI System Management Tools, under the Database Security plugin, the description of the PITUNING table is: "Controls access to Timeout parameters and the Firewall" "Timeout parameters" is the old name for "tuning parameters", I'm guessing from ...

When this tuning parameter is enabled, it prevents a PI Collective from being flagged as out-of-sync when some of the PI Collective members can resolve the SID of a PI Mapping and others cannot. However, by default, this tuning parameter is hidden...

Add a counter to stale\Bad tags window

In point builder, the number of tags you are working on is displayed in the top right corner. I'd like to suggest the same on the stale tags window. Why? I do systems administration on 380 controls machines across 68 power plants. Of those 380 mac...
