    Enhance the PI-ICU to include a rolling buffer regardless of connection to the PI Data Archive

    During a Disaster Recovery test our team discovered that there will be up to 24 hours of data loss since our VM's are cloned once a day and the PI-ICU interfaces don't start caching data until the data archive has been disconnected. Essentially - ...

    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...

    Interface should reload performance counters after failover and keep track of them.

    The interface should be designed to reload counters both at startup and when becoming the active interface after a failover. The interface should realize the counter is not available and periodically attempt to reload (ideally with a message to th...

    Enable logging of 5.x batch interface messages to the local PI message log again

    Message logs for 5.X Batch interfaces and Connectors are written to Windows Event Viewer instead of PI Message Logs as in previous versions. The Windows Event Log is extremely slow compared to viewing PI message logs, the filtering is worse, the m...

    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 ...
