Prevent PI-TAGs to be overwritten with new data for certain time range

Normally our TAGs are filled with data coming from an analysis (or PI-Equation) by snapshot-data or recalculated data. But sometimes we have to do manual corrections due to data loss and have to write data to this PI-TAGs manually. And we are not ...

Automated re-compression/average after a period of time

As a PI Administrator, currently there is no way to compress or average (then delete) your data automatically after an event reaches a certain age. It would be nice to have the ability to automatically compress or average specific tags after the e...

2 timestamps for future data tags

Currently, if you want to store predictions for 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, etc. into the future, you must create a different PI tag for each distance into the future. Future data tags should support 2 timestamps: the timestamp that the predicted valu...

PI Server should recover from any ungraceful shutdown

While the recovery mechanism for queue corruption is much more robust on newer version of PI Data Archive compared to previous versions, there are still few cases where PI Data Archive does not fully recover from ungraceful shutdowns. PI Server sh...
