Remotely view logs

I understand that you can remotely view logs using pigetmsg. However this solution does not work for me as the interface is on a controlled network that only allows outbound traffic. I would like a way for the interface node to be able to push out...

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.

Separate commonly used PI Interfaces that do not have a successor into read-only and write-only versions

Currently, it is recommended to use the read-only version of a PI Interface if only reading is required, and to have separate read and write instances of the read-write version of a PI Interface if writing is required. (Reference: https://docs.osi...

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...

Upgrade the most commonly used PI Interfaces to use only the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable

Please upgrade the most commonly used PI Interfaces so that the only Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable version that they require is the 2015-2022 version. This will reduce the size of the install kit, make it faster to download, make it faster ...

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