    PI Builder Publish without Check In

    It would be useful during development to be able to publish a PI Builder spreadsheet with an option to not check in the changes so you could check what the changes look like and validate them in PI System Explorer and decide whether to undo the ch...

    Add array sorting function to AF Analytics.

    This would also enable calculation of percentiles. Percentile calculation would also be possible if the user could use nested substitution parameters in array functions. For example: RecVals := RecordedValues('Attribute1', start, end) CountLowe...

    Alert user when the interface discards values

    Example:  When using a distribution tag, the number of tags returned and number of values sent to PI can be mismatched, due to missing aliases or data that does not need to be collected. It would be helpful to identify what values are droppe...

    My OPC server's items have the OPC server node name included in the itemID, for example: serverA.AB_1234.PV. I have redundant OPC servers and redundant interfaces (in failover) and would like the tags to refer to the correct OPC address including ...

    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...
