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

    Include MSXML with the latest version of the PI Interface for OPC XML-DA

    The Read-Only version of the PI Interface for OPC XML-DA (1.7.3.40) does not contain the msxml4 library necessary for communicating with the OPC XML-DA. The workaround is to install the Read-Write version of the interface and then the Read-Only ve...

    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:...
