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 ...

Improve PI Server Installation kit: disk space requirements should include the minimal PI Backup

When calculating the disk space requirements on a recent upgrade the drive was expected to have only 138 MB installed. But the install failed due to not enough disk space on the drive because the minimal backup needed a certain amount of disk spac...

PI AF Link & PIBatch - Ability to uninstall it

PI AF Link is not included in PI 2018 but it would be good to be able to remove the link during an upgrade. (not possible today https://customers.osisoft.com/s/knowledgearticle?knowledgeArticleUrl=000027668). Same for PIBatch which cannot be unins...

PI to CONNECT Installation Footprint

As a PI System Administrator, I would like a way to deploy PI to CONNECT in a secure and manageable way so that it is easy to maintain, and I can trust it is secure. Currently, AVEVA recommends PI to CONNECT be installed on a separate computer fro...

Sync PI to CONNECT Value Property UoMs with the source tag's EngUnits

By placing the engineering units from the data archive into a stream metadata, it precludes their usage within CONNECT's UoM functionality (such as data view column labels for example). The EngUnits won't be trivial to sync into CONNECT, but an at...

Add a type casting function or operator

The INI files would be shorter and more readable if the PI Connector for UFL had a type casting function or operator. For example, if you are incrementing a Counter variable (type Int32) for each data line, and your tag names are Tag1, Tag2, etc....

Make a version of SkipFile() that stops processing the current file immediately

The current SkipFile() function tells the PI Connector for UFL to skip the remaining lines in the file, but the PI Connector for UFL will continue to execute the rest of the code in the "per message" section that the current line triggered. Pleas...

UFL Connector - sort input files by parameters other than name
