Use the AUDIT filegroup for all CDC tables

When enabling auditing, the default CDC tables are created within the ASSETS filegroup in SQL, while all replication tables are created in the AUDIT filegroup. It would be good if all CDC tables were in the AUDIT filegroup so that all of the audit...

Add severity as a notification trigger criteria

Sometimes we have cases where we want to create the event but do not send a notification if the severity is low. I think it would be beneficial if we could add the severity as a criteria for notifications, that way we can choose at which point the...

Installer screen should read 'PI Data Archive Install Directory' instead of 'PI Data Archive Directory'

Ability to define if an analysis will be inherited from a base template.

I would like to easily define if a derived template will inherit an analysis. This derived template should have a check box on the analysis that says: 'Do not Inherent'. Without this option I have to disable the analyses mapped to the derived temp...

Overload the Convert function to allow a input UoM and output UoM for unitless values

For unitless values you can assign a unit of measure by using the Convert() function. To further convert this to another UoM in the same class you need to nest another Convert() function. For example, Convert(Convert(3600, "s"), "h")) It would sim...

Document and have a dialouge that informs the user that Analysis backfilling does not observe compression settings.

Currently when backfilling an analysis with the PI Buffer Subsystem turned on, all values are sent to the PI Data Archive uncompressed. This is because values are perceived as out of order and these settings are not observed. This should be mentio...

Add information about analyses are handled in derived templates and overriding templates

So there is absolutely nothing in the PSE user guide about how analysis templates are handled in derived templates. And while it appears that it is possible to override an analysis in the base template by creating one with the same name, there is ...

Change process to release security patches

Hello, whenever Osisoft identifies security issues on PI / PI AF, they deliver fixes through the next release of these applications. This is not convenient as upgrading to a new release is a risk that we don't like to be forced to take and has a ...
