Have the ability to show hidden attributes in the response request for attributes

When requesting attributes using /elements/{WebId}/attributes or child attributes using /attributes/{WebId}/attributes it would be nice to have an argument ?showHidden=true|false so that hidden attributes could be retrieved. I was trying to write ...

Implement FindChangedPIPoints

Add a PIServer.FindChangedPIPoint implementation to allow easily detecting changes to the point table. Today one has to periodically load all PI Points to find and react on potential changes. Especially with larger point counts these operations ca...

Re-instate the default tags and random/ramp soak interfaces

These were removed from the 2018 SP3 install kit as OSI found many customers removed these tags and interfaces after installation. However, our experience is the opposite and these tags are massively useful for diagnostic, experimental and trainin...

Schedule PI Web API Crawls
