Allow diagnostic tags per failover node for batch interfaces

Batch interfaces should allow for diagnostic tags per failover node, just like UniInt based interfaces. Currently, there is no differentiation between the diagnostic tags for the primary failover node versus the backup failover node. The Location3...

Support non-English Performance counter for PI PerfMon Interface

PI Interface for Performance Monitor can collect data from non-English Performance counters in version 1.x, but cannot in version 2.x. It would be good if version 2.x is also able to collect data from non-English Performance counters.

PI UFL ._OK file rename should be after parsing to avoid data loss during shutdowns

My understanding of UFL (confirmed by tech support) is that it will rename files to ._OK extension before loading lines into memory. This means that if the service is stopped (such as during an update) and it has not completely read into memory an...

Upgrade the PI Interface Configuration Utility to a responsive web-based user interface

OSIsoft's migration from PI Interfaces to PI Connectors is very slow. Even after the migration is complete, many PI Interfaces will not be upgraded to PI Connectors, so users will continue to use the PI Interfaces and the PI ICU to configure them....

Allow PI-ICU to Create/Edit Stored Credentials in Credential Manager

An issue we run into often is that most of the accounts that are used to run our interfaces (mostly OPC DA) are different from accounts we use to configure the interfaces. Because these interfaces run on different domains, we have to store an acco...

Enhance pitopi.ini sections to include point source to make them unique

The pitopi.ini file is used by the pitopi interface for collecting data from multiple sources and to save other miscellaneous settings such as 'histonly' flags. The configuration ini file uses sections to separate settings between instances with a...

PItoPI should give indication when it is stuck querying a corrupt source archive

Currently, PItoPI interface can get "stuck" if it is querying a source data archive that is corrupt with no indication that this is what's happening.  It appears to be sending data to the destination server, but no data is received.  It ...

Support Analysis Backfill of Source Tag

Many of our source tags sending data to a central Data Archive are populated with data from analyses on the source AF Server. This creates two problems when we perform a backfill that recalculates data over a specified timespan for the source tag:...

Uni-Int to write to scan-class health tags on startup

We've noticed this particularly with the RDBMS-PI interface when configured for failover: Health tags that are only written to when the interface becomes primary or has completed its first scan (eg Point Count, Scan Class I/O Rate etc.) say 'Intf ...

PI EFGen 4.1+ has limited recovery capabilities

Up to PI EFGen 4.0, we were able to backfill OOO Event Frames by simply inputting the start and end time of the corresponding period. Since 4.1, this must be done in a per-event basis, since larger time ranges are modified so that RST matches the ...
