    PI Batch Interfaces (EFGEN) Reliability During Recovery Runs

    The Batch interfaces currently handle recovery processes very unreliably which could end up stopping the whole AF server. We believe the stability of the interface running recoveries should be carefully handled to ensure the whole AF server enviro...

    Periodic trigger monthly and yearly

    I would like to have monthly and yearly periodic trigger for Analysis-Expression and Event Frame Generation. Currently I have to use the daily trigger and check in the analysis if the month or the year changed. In case of “false” there is no outpu...

    Make Analysis trigger on different inputs when timestamps of input tags are equal

    If an Analysis is triggered on "Any Input", and the inputs have the same timestamp but come in after each other, the Analysis is only triggered at the first input. For example: We have a simple Analysis which summarizes 2 tag. The first tag comes...

    Improve Asset Analytics Data Cache performance to handle large scale changes

    There is a considerable amount of downtime in our system (20+ minutes) when a template change is performed. The root cause is a limitation on how the analysis service handles the removal of AF Attributes from the Data Cache. Due to this limitation...

    More functions to support operations on arrays

    The arrays in Expression and Event Frame Generation analyses are useful, but use cases are emerging where more functions are needed to reduce/calculate the arrays in more streamlined fashion. For example, Concat function should support array of ch...

    1:1 Data Transfer Option in AVEVA PI2PI Interface

    The AVEVA PI2PI Interface requires a new configuration option to enable a direct 1:1 data transfer from the source to the destination. This option must ensure that data is copied precisely as it is received from the source, without any modificatio...

    Admin Option to block check-in of linking an Analysis output to a Static Attribute

    It is easy for AF Users to create a new attribute with Data Reference = None (aka Static Attribute) but then assign an analysis to update its value later. When this happens, all updates to the attribute are stored in table FindChanges_AT which can...

    PI Batch Interfaces (EFGEN) Performance Counters Reliability

    The Batch interfaces currently handle performance counters configuration extremely unreliably. To explain: Performance counters are not allowing naming convention to be applied and are forcing hard-coded tags naming giving rise to conflicts betw...

    PI Interface for OPC UA

    While it is understood that adapters are the future of data source connectivity; there is an immediate need for existing PI system users (especially in the Chemical industry) to transition their data sources from using OPC DA to OPC UA. Many of th...

    PI EMDVB Interface should not use the STARTUP.dat to determine recovery start time when configured in Failover and running in RealTime mode.

    Currently when the PI Interface for Emerson DeltaV Batch (EMDVB) is configured for failover and running in RealTime mode, the interface will use a recovery start time (RST) based on the last time the interface was active. This results in the inter...
