Support deletion/reset of snapshot values in the Buffering subsystem

The Analysis server uses the PI Buffer subsystem in order to apply Exception and Compression testing on the results of Analysis. However, when deleting data (either through Recalculation or deleting data via Powershell or PI SMT, or whatever) the ...

Date and time format in Preview-Results pane (PI System Explorer) to be consistent with all other date & time formats

The Date and time format in PI System Explorer's Preview-Results pane are not displayed according to the end user's operating system date & time format defined. This is an inconsistent behavior to that of PI System explorer in general sine the...

Additional capabilities for rollup analyses

I find myself making analytics on child elements which by themselves have limited value, but are needed to get rollup analyses to work. This adds complexity to the design of AF. Two ideas would improve this: 1) Count # of attributes that meet a c...
