    Restrict Batch interface from creating Event Frames using illegal characters

    The PI Interface for Rockwell FactoryTalk Batch in processing evt files used a hexadecimal character of 1f in the generation of an event frame. This results in an error when attempting to export the event frame in an xml output.

    File name extensions "_OK" and "BAD" / Deletion of correctly read lines

    We operate a UFL interface that evaluates CSV files with additional analysis data and reads data for existing PI tags, storing the values (including timestamps) in the PI server archives. Our UFL interface is not permitted to create PI tags. I hav...

    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...

    Web service data reference

    As an user, I want to be able to query web services using a fully support attribute data reference so that I can get the information I need from web services without having to write my own custom data reference.

    Ability to visualize AF element connectivities like a graph using PI System Explorer

    As a user, I want to be able to view AF element connectivities using a graph view rather than a tree, so that I can see more relationships between elements than just parent-child as in a tree.

    Expose AF Server Properties (Counts) as PI Points

    As AF Admin, it would be helpful to be able to archive and track the Database Property Count as a PI Point/Attribute to track the progress of AF deployment

    Security settings identities

    Security setting for an identity must be sen in the PI server and AF should get that. Why create additional identities in AF as well. Duplication creates risk for errors and requires additional maintenance.

    Add TimeRangeMethod to StringBuilder DataReference or automatically use StartTime when used on Event Frames.

    A frequent  PI Square problem regards using StringBuilder DR on event frames and the user wants to see the referenced element's attribute at the StartTime of the event frame.  Something like a TimeRangeMethod or  UseStartTime flag w...

    Show AD display names rather than User ID

    PI AF shows who created and last edited an element, but does so by showing the user's ID in format "Domain\UserID" which is not always readable. It would be better to display the AD user's display name in these places to make it clear who performe...

    Provide a mechanism in AF for moving a UOM from one class to another.

    With multi-user AF Servers, it is not unusual for a UOM to end up in the wrong class.  Currently, fixing this issue is not trivial.  If you try to delete the UOM from its current class so it can be recreated in the correct class, you get...
