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 -...

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...
