Extension of Rollup Scope without Excessive Computational Cost

Allow event scheduling for PI Point DR attributes that use RelativeTime or TimeRange

AF Function Call to test for existence of a PI tag

Some Analytics fail due to a tag not existing. It is possible to test for a Bad value via the BadVal() function, however, this does not work if the tag does not exist. Consequently the equation will not run. This caused me many hours of debugging ...

Throw an error if both excdev and excdevpercent or both compdev and compdevpercent are present when publishing

Currently, if you publish a PI Point configuration that contains both excdev and excdevpercent or both compdev and compdevpercent, the "percent" versions silently take priority. This means that if a user imports excdev and excdevpercent, edits onl...

Use PI SQL Client OLEDB for PI Builder data imports

PI Builder has a few problems: It is specific to Excel. It does not store data in tables. Imported data is static and can become outdated easily, which can lead to frequent imports, the need to publish PI Builder edits soon after import, and the r...

Give a more specific error message when publishing a span of 0

Currently, if you try to create/edit a PI Point to have a span of 0, an error message similar to the one below appears: Error occurred on line #, column #, while processing PI Data Archive 'PIDataArchive': [-38] Illegal Compression Deviation Speci...
