Include overridden attributes of derived templates in Event Frame View with PI SQL DAS (RTQP)

Allow PI Builder to be used with Windows Store Application version of Excel

If Excel is installed as a Windows Store Application instead of a Desktop Application, the PI AF Client installer doesn't allow PI Builder to be installed. The reason for that is that it can't determine the Excel version through the registry. PI...

Allow the SDK connection priority for the RTQP Engine to be configurable

Add support for nested SELECT statements in PI SQL (RTQP)

The current version of PI DAS (RTQP Engine) does not support nested SELECT statements. This is a rather dire oversight, given that the older PI OLEDB Enterprise query engine does support nested SELECT statements. A very useful application of nes...

Change behavior to retrieve contacts in bulk

In a large scale deployment, or in an undersized system retrieving AF Contacts, or accessing the subscription tab on a Notification Rule can be slow. A solution is of course to properly size the system or reduce the scale, however there is a compo...
