Allow using SQL as a data source for FactoryTalk Batch

Rockwell FactoryTalk Batch v12.01 allows to output batch data to a SQL database as well as EVT files. Just like with EMDVB, the PI Interface for FTBatch should be able to use both data sources.

Add a method to the PI Web API's stream controller that only returns compressed events

Currently, using the PI Web API's Stream GetRecorded method with an end time of now will return the latest snapshot. As a developer, I would like an additional method to be added that would return only events that have already gone through compres...

Public PI Web API Endpoint (for health checks)

Currently, all endpoints of the PI Web API are access protected. When using the PI Web API with a load balancer (namely with managed load balancers from AWS/Azure), the health check endpoint for the servers must be configured to accept both 200 &a...

Batch interfaces keeping merged child operation EventFrames open until the parent Operation EventFrame has been closed.

Currently for batch interfaces using the /MUP parameter, child operation event frames might be reopened and closed multiple times until the last operation event frame closes and the child event frame is closed for good. For example with UnitProced...

EMDVB - Add Option to End Procedure EF with batchview.endtime equivalent instead of when it's unloaded from the BOI

Currently the EMDVB interface will not end the parent Procedure level event frame until the batch has been unloaded from the Delta Batch Operator Interface. It is very common for users to leave batches loaded for quite a while which causes batches...

Schedule PI Web API Crawls

The customer would like the ability to schedule crawls for a specific AF database (it's quite large), so that crawls don't interrupt users who need to access the elements in the PI Vision search during their working hours.

Allow Creation of Acknowledgeable Event Frames

The PI Web API exposes a "CanBeAcknowledged" property when reading Event Frames. However, this property is read-only: it cannot be supplied when creating a new Event Frame or updating an existing Event Frame. I would like the ability to include th...

Writing to AF Table through PI Web API

Currently PI WebAPI provides only the method UpdateData /Put Tables (https://techsupport.osisoft.com/Documentation/PI-Web-API/help/controllers/table/actions/updatedata.html) to insert data into an AF table and this method requires the entire table...

Make PI Web API responses more descriptive or allow developers to configure their own custom response fields.

Currently if a PI Web API user attempts an action which is not allowed, the error handling is somewhat generic. Stream and Stream Set controller calls might contain an additional information in the response fields, but not always. e.g. Trying to ...
