    Allow restricting access to the Adapter to only allow configuration by specific users

    We want to make sure that we have more control over who can update an Adapter. Is there a way to add a login or other restriction to only permit certain users to be able to modify Adapters, similar to how, with PI Connectors, only specific Windows...

    PI Adapter for OPC UA Discovery file attributes setting

    At the moment the file generated consists 5 columns - nodeId,selected,name,streamId,dataFilterId. Columns "name" and "dataFilterId" are always with value "NONE". There is no option to set the attributes to include in the file.

    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...

    When using debug mode level tracing in opc ua, can we get a dump of the client settings and data source settings in the log file that are being used so we know the context of that session?

    it will tell us exactly the full context the adapter is operating in when it starts up and connects to the data source.

    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,...

    Ability to view Instrument Tag and Point Source attributes within PI SMT > Data > Current Values pane

    Feature request would be to include Instrument Tag and Point Source attributes to be view-able through the Data > Current Values pane of PI SMT.  This would allow administrators and users the ability to quickly diagnose and/or trace PI Poi...

    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 ...
