Pre-installation system wide compatibility check

As a system administrator, I would like a comprehensive tool to validate system and version compatibility across my entire PI system.  When performing upgrades / adding components to my PI infrastructure, it takes considerable time to comb th...

PSD to report on SQL Server install

I would like PSD to report on the SQL Server install. SQL Server is a core component of a PI system as it is required by AF, and used by PI Vision and PI Manual Logger. Similar to the OS information, I want to know where SQL Server is installed in...

Have PSD detect PI client tools installs

In our landscape, we usually create an ‘Admin’ server for each major PI system and install all the client tools on it for support staff to use for bulk work because it is normally easier (rather than their desktops) due to the admin servers being ...

I would like PI SMT to refresh its cache automatically so it provides consistent information with other client tools without the requirement to manually refresh it or close/reopen.

Option to hide legacy tuning parameters

Combine PI Services and PI Version in PI System Management Tools

PI Services would benefit from a tabular format so then the (Running)/(Stopped) can be moved into a separate column. This would improve readability and allow the user can sort by service name or (Running)/(Stopped). Also, the inclusion of the full...

Have a consistent way to specify start and end times for new archives in PI System Management Tools

If you go to create a new archive, you can select "Single archive" or "Multiple archives for backfilling". If you choose the former and choose "Create archive with fixed start and end time", you can type the start and end times with precision down...

Show pending changes in the Archive Editor of PI System Management Tools

Currently, there is no visual distinction between: • rows that contain no changes, • rows that contain unsaved changes, and • rows that contain saved changes that have not been processed by the PI Data Archive yet (this happens when you refresh to...
