    Allow PI Collective members to be permanently represented by alias names

    For example, in PI SDK, when viewing "member setup" for a PI Collective, it is desired for the names of the members to always be represented as a DNS alias or SDK alias. At the outset of PI Collective creation, in PI Collective Manager for instanc...

    Factory Talk Batch Interface EVT file contains useful data in the Recipe column. Can we please add Recipe as a placeholder in the Interface?

    The EVT file from FTB has 27 columns, the most populated one is Recipe. There is useful information there that could be used to filter and select data for storage in PI. Unfortunately it isn't available in the Placeholder list of 42 placeholders f...

    Support dynamic indexes from Linux devices for PI Interface for SNMP

    When the interface machine needs to be restarted for any reason, the connection to the source (when a Linux device) is lost because Linux uses dynamic indexes and the Interface does not have a way to manage that. Tags need to be reconfigured every...

    Enhance the PI-ICU to include a rolling buffer regardless of connection to the PI Data Archive

    During a Disaster Recovery test our team discovered that there will be up to 24 hours of data loss since our VM's are cloned once a day and the PI-ICU interfaces don't start caching data until the data archive has been disconnected. Essentially - ...

    Interface should reload performance counters after failover and keep track of them.

    The interface should be designed to reload counters both at startup and when becoming the active interface after a failover. The interface should realize the counter is not available and periodically attempt to reload (ideally with a message to th...

    Allow adding naming conventions

    Administrating large systems require providing naming standards (for example when implementing international standards like ISA95) for various system elements: PI Point, AF DBs, Elements, Templates and so on. AVEVA software could support naming co...

    Enable logging of 5.x batch interface messages to the local PI message log again

    Message logs for 5.X Batch interfaces and Connectors are written to Windows Event Viewer instead of PI Message Logs as in previous versions. The Windows Event Log is extremely slow compared to viewing PI message logs, the filtering is worse, the m...

    Filter expression '<tagname>'="string" syntax should allow wildcards

    Performance Equations syntax for filtering in SMT and Datalink should allow wildcards for strings: For instance, ''="*substring*" interprets the * as a literal character rather than as a wildcard. To achieve the desired filter, it is currently po...

    Clearly label or group together obsolete/deprecated/legacy features

    PI System Management Tools is littered with legacy features. By grouping them together or clearly labeling them as "legacy" or similar, the user knows which features to use or migrate away from without having to look up each feature individually.

    Rearrange the Archive tab in the Point Builder to reflect the relationship between settings

    If the Compressing attribute of a PI Point is set to Off, then the compression settings are greyed out, which makes sense because they are irrelevant if Compressing is Off. However, if a PI Point has its Archiving attribute set to Off, nothing is ...
