Assure changes made to any configuration of an interface are audit trailed

We noticed that changes to the configuration of newer interfaces / connectors like - PI EMDVBCS interface 4.0 - PI inbatch interface - PI Connector Wonderware Historian are no longer recorded in the PI Audit trail. (see also TechSupport Case # 9...

Device Status UniInt health tag should update during runtime without needing a status update

Currently, the device status is updated on startup, on change, on shutdown, and on each performance summary interval. However, for a device status tag created while the interface is running in a good state, the device status tag will remain at 'P...

Avoid reloading tags after edits of non-key PI Point attributes

Currently, UniInt-based interfaces will reload a tag if edits are detected on any of the PI Point attributes. This is not ideal as edits to non-key attributes (such as EngUnits) will still cause a tag to be reloaded, potentially leading to data so...

Support data collection across data diodes or similar technology

Regulatory and/or security requirement to separate data collection from data storage using a one-way data flow. Could apply to Interfaces or Connectors, for example PI Interface for Emerson Ovation. PI Interface/Connector -> one-way data flow ...

UNIINT Interfaces and Connectors should be able to retry an output event if output write fails

When an interface fails writing to a DCS system, the interface writes a failure status to the output tag and goes on.  User has requested an option to have an output tag retry after write failure. It would be good to have this functionality in all...

Ability to wait successful connection to PI Data Archive and download PI point information during startup

(Posted on behalf of our customer) It can reduce the chance of startup failure because of the connection to PI Data Archive time-out. It's also helpful if interface can reduce time to get PI point information from PI Data Archive.

Allowing output point with source tag to keep working even after switching to secondary server

When primary server is down, secondary server is accessed instead of primary server, which is good. However, in the case of output point with source tag, it stops working, then restarting the interface instance of interest is needed. Of course, if...

Retire 32-bit versions of PI Interfaces that have a 64-bit version

These days, 32-bit operating systems are used for 1 of 2 reasons: Somebody accidentally installed the 32-bit version instead of the 64-bit version, which is a mistake that OSIsoft has no obligation to accommodate. The computer is very old, in whic...

Migrate the PI Universal Interface (UniInt) Framework to use PI AF SDK

Most PI Interfaces are based on the PI Universal Interface (UniInt) Framework and rely on PI API and its successor, PI SDK. PI SDK has, in turn, been superseded by PI AF SDK. PI SDK also relies on the deprecated and insecure ActiveX technology, wh...
