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.

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...

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...

Tag Search dialog should have pointID as a default search criteria

As a PI System Administrator, I wish the Tag Search dialog made it easier to filter by pointID as I use this attribute commonly for management tasks and troubleshooting my PI System.  This could replace a less useful field such as Engineering...
