Please add product name (eg 2018 SP2) to the version information in PI SMT

Apply correct localhost.tz file during PI Data Archive installation

To account for the different historical implementations of Daylight Saving Time in different regions, a localhost.tz file is added to the %piserver%\dat directory after installation. As an installer of PI Data Archive, I would like the localhost.t...

PI Archive ability to recover from drive disconnect

Allow PI Points to use the UOM database in PI AF

The Engineering Unit attribute of PI Points does not offer the same robustness as UOMs, which are only available in PI AF. Also, the user must set both the PI Point Engineering Unit and the element attribute UOM manually and separately, which is r...
