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 EMDVB Interface - Rename Parsed Files

PI EMDVB Interface - Rename Parsed Files.  Files that get renamed to .999 is no longer available with PI EMDVB.  This file renaming feature was very useful from a system maintenance perspective.  We would easily remove .999 from the active EVT fol...

Allow renaming of diagnostic tags for batch interfaces

Batch interfaces should follow a similar approach to UniInt based interfaces to retrieve the diagnostic tags. That is to say they should pull the diagnostic tags based on the PointSource, Location1, and ExDesc, not a hardcoded name based purely on...

Allow diagnostic tags per failover node for batch interfaces

Batch interfaces should allow for diagnostic tags per failover node, just like UniInt based interfaces. Currently, there is no differentiation between the diagnostic tags for the primary failover node versus the backup failover node. The Location3...

Capture data from ABB 800xA that doesn't follow ISA88

ABB 800xA offers a batch capture mode that is more flexible than ISA88 since it doesn't match all unit procedures to units, but rather acquires them at the beginning of the batch. Currently the interface is designed to only retrieve batches that f...

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 ...

PI EMDVB Interface should not use the STARTUP.dat to determine recovery start time when configured in Failover and running in RealTime mode.

Currently when the PI Interface for Emerson DeltaV Batch (EMDVB) is configured for failover and running in RealTime mode, the interface will use a recovery start time (RST) based on the last time the interface was active. This results in the inter...

Delete mode in Wonderware InBatch interface

When run in delete mode for WWInBatch interface, it uses the data source as the system of record--any open batch in SQL will be deleted. However, as abandoned or done  batches are open in WonderWare but closed in PI, the interface may delete batch...

Enhance Visibility of Event Frame Generator/Batch Interface History Recovery Status

Currently when running any event frame generator interface (EFGen, PIFTBatch, etc.) in history recovery mode, there is no way to monitor progress of the actual history recovery. The only way to determine status is to check message logs periodicall...

Batch interfaces keeping merged child operation EventFrames open until the parent Operation EventFrame has been closed.

Currently for batch interfaces using the /MUP parameter, child operation event frames might be reopened and closed multiple times until the last operation event frame closes and the child event frame is closed for good. For example with UnitProced...
