    Accept the dd-mmm-yyyy format in the absolute time syntax for history recovery start and end times

    The PI Interface for RDBMS currently accepts the format dd-mmm-yy but not the format dd-mmm-yyyy for history recovery start and end times. The former format lacks the century, so the year is ambiguous. The latter format solves this problem and so...

    Add a unit column for data item searches

    In data item searches, it would be useful to have a column that shows the engineering unit or default UOM of the returned results. This helps assure the user that they chose the correct data item and confirms the data item's unit with the user.
