    My OPC server's items have the OPC server node name included in the itemID, for example: serverA.AB_1234.PV. I have redundant OPC servers and redundant interfaces (in failover) and would like the tags to refer to the correct OPC address including ...

    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 ...

    Double check window required when deleting an instance in PI Event Frames Interface Manager

    As a PI System Admin, I would like to see a confirmation window (acceptation pop-up message), when deleting Interface instances in PI Event Frames Interface Manager. This would minimize the deletion of the instances by error.

    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...

    Factory Talk Batch Interface EVT file contains useful data in the Recipe column. Can we please add Recipe as a placeholder in the Interface?

    The EVT file from FTB has 27 columns, the most populated one is Recipe. There is useful information there that could be used to filter and select data for storage in PI. Unfortunately it isn't available in the Placeholder list of 42 placeholders f...
    Nathan Skitt 9 months ago in PI Interfaces / Batch Interfaces 2 Tell us more

    Interface should reload performance counters after failover and keep track of them.

    The interface should be designed to reload counters both at startup and when becoming the active interface after a failover. The interface should realize the counter is not available and periodically attempt to reload (ideally with a message to th...

    Enable logging of 5.x batch interface messages to the local PI message log again

    Message logs for 5.X Batch interfaces and Connectors are written to Windows Event Viewer instead of PI Message Logs as in previous versions. The Windows Event Log is extremely slow compared to viewing PI message logs, the filtering is worse, the m...

    Convert incoming string data to float and provide division all in the same tag instead of a PE

    OPC server is outputting data with the currency data type (VT_CY) and it needs to be stored in the float type.  As per the OPCtoCSV document, the OPCtoCSV tool/OPC interface invokes VariantChangeType in order to convert this currency value to...

    OPC DA, A&E historical recovery

    We have seen that the primary OPC interface will be connected but we don't see data coming across since the OPC server itself seems to have a problem. Since the connection is still active we won't failover to the secondary. We have to leave Notifi...

    OPC DA interface to read data for advise and polled tags at startup

    If digital tags are part of advise groups and the flag to write "Intf Shut" is enabled in the OPC DA interface, then digital tags can read "Intf Shut" for hours/days/weeks, if the value does not change after an interface restart (for example, 2 pu...
