On the Overview page, the PI Data server list grows downwards from the top. On the Server List page, the PI Data server list grows upwards from the bottom. Please use a consistent order for the PI Data server list so then one list does not appear...

Increase the default log size

The current default log size in the event viewer is 1MB. Although it can easily be increased, a larger default (100MB+) would allow to catch errors the first time they occur and allow for further troubleshooting then having to change it and have t...

Customizable compression / exception rules based on Span

When using Connectors, it would be desirable to specify a rule to set up exception / compression based on the Span of a tag. For example: 1. Span <100 excdevpercent = 0.1% / excdev = 0.1 and comdevpercent = 0.2% / comdev = 0.2    2. Span <...

Better support for IE

Some field values are missing or inaccurate when viewed through IE as compared to Chrome.  This was seen in the DCM UI and PSC UI for Data Source configuration.  Some IT environments are locked down to the point that IE built into the OS is the on...

Better error handling in DCM UI

For some cases where disallowed or poor configuration causes unexpected behavior, the UI should give a visual indicator and explanation.  Two examples: 1. No write access for Relay to AF DB when using the PSC.  Result: replication of AF objects fa...

Failover for PI Connector Relay

Although, the PI Connector Relay going down / not being available does not cause data loss since the connector data is buffered, if the source connector supports Failover, the relay becomes the only single point of failure in the data flow. Havi...
