    Replace the batch (.bat) scripts in the %PISERVER% folder with PowerShell (.ps1) scripts

    This replacement is appropriate for several reasons: PowerShell is easier to read and is a more powerful language than the batch language. Batch scripts are best used in Windows, whereas PowerShell is cross-platform. This replacement will support ...

    Optimize and compress non-primary historic archive files

    Currently, the same file format is used for primary and non-primary historic archive files. This does not make much sense since the two types are used very differently. For the primary archive: Write operations should be fast since it is collectin...

    Users should be able to define display digits on Archive editor

    Currently the Archive editor doesn't allow users to define how many digits should be shown for the data values and it does not follow the DisplayDigits tag attribute setting. Users should be able to define how many digits to be shown.

    Archive corruption detection

    For the moment some Archive corruption are not detected automatically by PI DA. For example error -15000 due to archive corruption. Please enhanced the archive corruption detection because we have more and more long history and it can become diffi...

    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...

    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,...

    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...
