Allow setting default security for all streams resulting from a given transfer

CONNECT may have multiple PI to CONNECT transfers coming from different Data Archives. The DAs data may have different security requirements. To facilitate managing this in CONNECT, there should be a way to set default security for streams (and as...

Create "aliases" of a pipoint using attributes

the idea is to have the possibility to assign a single tag more than one name, providing it a list of aliases in case of need. many tags in pi have names that were fine at the time they were created but after some years their name should be "chang...

Automate dataset selection for each PI to CONNECT Agent

Make a point class similar to "base", but without zero, span, or typical value

Most of the time, zero, span, and typical value are unused, cause confusion, and/or lead to easy but costly mistakes. Typical value is probably the most useless PI Point attribute. It doesn't affect the PI system. It is just there for the user's ...

Write a description for the PI Data Archive services

When you open the Services program (services.msc), none of the PI Data Archive services have a description. Please provide descriptions for these. The specific services are: PI Archive Subsystem PI Backup Subsystem PI Base Subsystem PI Buffer Subs...
