Optional Link between underlying PI tag and AF attribute to use for description, UOM, etc

An optional link to connect an AF attribute with the underlying PI tag. This would allow the user to pull in the PI tag description and engineering units in the AF attribute description and UOM. When the underlying PI tag is updated the changes ar...

Make UOM conversion a more streamlined process

In AF, right clicking an attribute reveals an options called "change display UOM", but it's not doing what is expected. To change the displayed UOMs (if, for instance, we want to see "km/h" instead of "m/h" in PI Vision), we need to do the follow...

Remove Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools For Office Runtime (VSTO Runtime) from any install kits that contain PI AF Client

According to this, VSTO Runtime is included with PI AF Client for the sake of PI Builder. The installation of VSTO Runtime also causes the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable to be installed as well. However, accordin...

Log SQL server name when throwing network-related or instance-specific errors

When the AF Server throws a network-related or instance-specific SQL error it only says that it failed to establish a connection to "SQL Server". It further says to check if the instance name is correct. However, it never says to what SQL server...

Add pH to the UOM database

pH is a common enough unit that it should be in the UOM database by default. It is also tricky for customers to add pH themselves and get the dimensions correct, so it is best that OSIsoft does this for us.

Saving the "Analysis Service Statistics" should be saved in XML instead of TXT since this is the actual format of the file

Analysis Searches - Allow Searching by 'Backilling'

In PI System Explorer under the Management tab, add a new search category in Analysis Searches to allow searching by Backfilling.  The Backfilling status column is always shown in the results window, but there is no way to search by this column.

Add a UOM class for bit rate

More generally, the UOM class should capture information per time. This is useful for labelling data transfer speeds and signal quality.

Use superscript characters in UOM abbreviations

Currently, exponents in UOM abbreviations are not superscripted (e.g. cm2, ft3). Please use the proper superscript characters for these (e.g. cm², ft³).

Be able to add child attributes to attributes that use limit traits

Currently, if an attribute has a limit trait assigned to it, it cannot have child attributes. This seems somewhat arbitrary. Child attributes of attributes with limit traits would be useful for high/low warnings/alarms.
