PI OPCtoCSV Tool: Subbranch filter depth

The PI Interface for OPC DA is packaged with the PI OPCtoCSV tool which extracts all OPC Items. It is possible to filter the items by subbranch however it recurses all sub-subbranches. We have an OPC server with around 20k items that we read into ...

DeltaV Smart Connector Enhancement

I think it would be a good idea to allow exception settings to be created. The DeltaV history collection settings only allow for compression. Since many/most users use 1/2 compression for their exception value then perhaps we could have a check bo...

Separate commonly used PI Interfaces that do not have a successor into read-only and write-only versions

Currently, it is recommended to use the read-only version of a PI Interface if only reading is required, and to have separate read and write instances of the read-write version of a PI Interface if writing is required. (Reference: https://docs.osi...

Allow using SQL as a data source for FactoryTalk Batch

Rockwell FactoryTalk Batch v12.01 allows to output batch data to a SQL database as well as EVT files. Just like with EMDVB, the PI Interface for FTBatch should be able to use both data sources.

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 ...
