    Restrict Batch interface from creating Event Frames using illegal characters

    The PI Interface for Rockwell FactoryTalk Batch in processing evt files used a hexadecimal character of 1f in the generation of an event frame. This results in an error when attempting to export the event frame in an xml output.

    Allow data sources and servers to be renamed

    Currently, if you want to rename a data source, PI Data server, or PI Asset server, you must delete the one with the old name and create a new one with the new name, and redo all of the configuration. This is especially a pain for data sources, si...

    Allow using SQL as a data source for FactoryTalk Batch

    Rockwell FactoryTalk Batch v12.01 allows to output batch data to a SQL database as well as EVT files. Just like with EMDVB, the PI Interface for FTBatch should be able to use both data sources.

    Enhance element creation to use user defined element templates

    The interface can automatically create an element at each level of event frames, but the elements do not derive from a template and there is no way to specify any attributes on the element. The enhancement request is to create elements that are ba...

    PI EFGen 4.1+ has limited recovery capabilities

    Up to PI EFGen 4.0, we were able to backfill OOO Event Frames by simply inputting the start and end time of the corresponding period. Since 4.1, this must be done in a per-event basis, since larger time ranges are modified so that RST matches the ...
