Allow administrators to change which CONNECT tenant/Namespace of the agent

As an administrator, the only mechanism to change the tenant or namespace of the installed agent is to completely uninstall and reinstall the agent. You can remove the agent from the Data Services Agent screen, but the Agent Configuration doesn't ...

Provide more user-friendly way to configure backups

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...

Compress archives that are backed up using "Copy"

Currently, when a "copy" backup occurs, the archives are copied as-is. Archive files take up a lot of space, but they also compress very well (if you deleted a bunch of tags without creating as many new ones), and since archive backups are rarely ...
