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.

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 a...

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...

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...
