No PI Point prefix in PI System Connector

I would like PI Points to be copied to the destination as they are, with no prefix (Data Archive Only). We only have 1 system replicating and we don't need a prefix.

    The ability to replicate PI Points without a prefix via PI System Connector is a capability available with the existing PI System Connector product. It is important to note that in order to replicate without a prefix, there are two locations where you need to ensure that the connector is properly configured. These two locations for prefix configuration are surfaced in the PI Data Collection Manager (DCM): -When adding a data source in the Connector > Data Source Settings > Global Settings configuration you will find the Server prefix option. Simply leaving the Server prefix blank here is one of two steps in replicating without a prefix. -The default behavior of the PI Connector Relay is to prefix PI points with “Connector_Name”. In order to disable the default behavior, navigate to Destination > Data configuration and uncheck the Prefix points checkbox. Please do not hesitate to contact Technical Support if you have any issues implementing this configuration.
