    PI UFL ._OK file rename should be after parsing to avoid data loss during shutdowns

    My understanding of UFL (confirmed by tech support) is that it will rename files to ._OK extension before loading lines into memory. This means that if the service is stopped (such as during an update) and it has not completely read into memory an...

    PItoPI should switch from COLD to WARM failover instead of exiting

    As of version 3.8.1 COLD failover is no longer supported by the PI to PI Interface (https://techsupport.osisoft.com/Troubleshooting/Enhancements/19255OSI8). However, older versions supported COLD failover. In the case of upgrading the interfaces, ...

    Use /opcstopstat when both interfaces in failover pair are shut down

    We would like to have some sort of digital state such as "Intf Shut" written to all OPC tags when both interfaces in a failover pair are shut down. Currently, the /opcstopstat and /stopstat parameters (which write a specified state to all tags wh...
