List client connections made to a specific AF database

We can easily see client connections made to an AF Server using the Connections tab in AF Server Properties. It would be nice to have a similar functionality for databases so we can see how much traffic each database gets. Useful in the event a c...

Rollup Analysis - Filter Attribute Names at both Root & Child Level

Requesting the ability to be able to filter at BOTH the root level (parent attribute) and child level (child attribute) when doing a rollup analysis. If you have the same child attribute names under different parent attributes (i.e. Children: YTD...

Allow access to Attribute Timestamp without using Analysis

It would be very helpfull if we could access not only attribute values but also their timestamp in formulas, string builder, etc.. For example, this would help calculate staleness of a value, or it could be used to set a PI Point Attribute to show...

Avoid naming SQL management scripts Go.bat

It is possible to name these files more specifically to convey what to expect when running them: Example 1: AF_SQL_295.bat Example 2: AF_SQL_290.bat Example 3: Vision_SQL_320.bat Currently a single name of Go.bat is assigned to SQL management scr...

Automatic PI Point Creation

It would be convenient if PI Points were automatically created when deploying an element based on an element template for the attribute templates that have Tag Creation set. The current approach is to right click > Create or Update Data Reference.

UOM field should accept substitution parameters

It would be nice if the UOM field of an AF Attribute would accept substitution parameters. This way if an attribute is a reference to another, the UOMs could also be linked. If the UOM is updated on the source, it would also get updated in the ref...

Allow AF to use any PI Point metadata (descriptor, UoM, Compression, etc.) as Attributes.

Some metadata can be used in Analyses, which is helpful, but means constantly running an analysis on static data in order to use it at all in AF, which is inefficient, and we have been told to pull in data as a linked table into AF, which seems un...

Allow nested attribute references for String Builder Data References

As a PI System Admin, I would like to reference an attribute value as part of my attribute data references for a String Builder data reference. For example, suppose I have a parent asset 'Parent' with an attribute of 'XD5' and a child element 'Chi...

Ability to move an AF element within the hierarchy in PSE by right-clicking on the element

When moving an AF element within the hierarchy in PSE using the "Shift key + Drag and Drop" approach, it can cause to create an Element reference if the release of the "Shift key" is done before dropping the element. Having the option of right-cl...

Ability to use templates from a different database

On the AF server we have things structured in different databases. When working in a database it would be great if I could use a database template (e.g. element template) from a different database. In some cases these templates are valid for both ...
