Ability for admins to restrict PI Data query to 2 years at a time.

I would like to restrict PI Vision users from pulling data for more than 2 years at a stretch. This setting should also restrict the PI Data link as well. This will make the software more robust to query timeout. Just let users know they need to a...

Expand/Collapse All Child Elements

A good feature on the PI System Explorer would be to be able to expand/collapse all child elements by right clicking on the parent element. Also, being able to reevaluate the names for multiple child elements at once rather than having to click on...

Prevent Analysis calc failure for attribute not found

If the same analysis is trying to be used for multiple templates, there will be times when some attributes are not available from a template - this will cause the analysis to fail. Even when the difference in attributes is known and attempted to b...

Use digital states in AF instead of Enumeration sets

A customer thinks it is unreasonable to require all customers to recreate the linkage of a new attribute to a Enumeration Set that is a copy of the Digital State Set for the attribute’s linked PI tag. There should really be an Attribute “Value Typ...

As a PI admin, I wish there was a GUI way to set up backup tasks instead of needing to go to the command line to set up my backup task. (FS, 415 hrs) As a PI admin, I have a hard time setting up backup scripts to write to an external data source...

Store thread history along with connection history in the server

Storing the thread history(pibasess/piarchss etc) along with the connection history will help to better understand and troubleshoot issues on the archive and will serve as a kind of auditing on the behavior of connections.

PI collective with shared archives

Allow the Primary Data Archive server read-write access to any shared archives. All Secondary data archive servers would have read-only access. This would fix case Case # 925881. We have tags with old timestamps, for example, environmental limits,...

PI Data Archive Installation Wizard should provide an option to restore from a backup or copy current configuration from another PI Server

As we enter 2020, the process of moving/restoring the PI Data Archive hasn't changed since its inception. Typical procedure to move a PI Data Archive on a new server is to install same version of software and then perform backup/restore of the old...
