Warm and cold PI Connector for OPC UA failover

Have a list of all tuning parameters

Currently, only common tuning parameters are visible by default in PI System Management Tools. Somewhere, whether in PI System Management Tools or online, there should be a list of ALL tuning parameters with their description, subsystem, minimum v...

Search Mappings and Trusts in SMT

We have hundreds of mappings/trusts in SMT and there's no way to search them (apart from exporting it all to Excel, and searching there, then going back to SMT to make necessary changes - not user friendly). There needs to be a basic search bar at...

Please add product name (eg 2018 SP2) to the version information in PI SMT

You have to translate between software version (eg 3.4.445.688) and the product name (eg 2018 SP2) by searching for a document in support. It would make sense to show the product name in PI SMT alongside the software version

Switch for using Name of AF Attributes from Browsable Name or Display Name

Add a Switch to the OPC UA Connector that we can choose if we want the AF Attributes to be created using "Browsable Name" or "Display Name". Using the Display Name would make it much easier for us to locate the Attribute and refer to its OPC Tag a...

Allow PI Points to use the UOM database in PI AF

The Engineering Unit attribute of PI Points does not offer the same robustness as UOMs, which are only available in PI AF. Also, the user must set both the PI Point Engineering Unit and the element attribute UOM manually and separately, which is r...

Remove deleted PI Identities from everywhere that they are used

Currently, if you delete a PI Identity that is still being used, the deletion will succeed and the PI Identity gets renamed to a number everywhere that it is used. This doesn't do much good, since the number does not reveal what the PI Identity us...
