Be able to use RTQP to access PI Points and Config strings (DA Directly)

Be able to use RTQP to access PI Points and Config strings (DA Directly) Use case: create a dashboard that lets me know the amount of bad data (tags) mapped to our AF. (eg. “Bad Input”, “Calc Failed”, etc) Our system has numerous tags and it is impossible to monitor them one by one. The RTQP engine has allowed us to query massive amount of AF Attributes to get their current values easily. Some AF attributes have been excluded in our system. For that case, we are not interested whether or not the values are bad. Hence I would like to know if I can filter out any AF Attributes that are ‘excluded’ in my query. The resulting query will give me current values of the attributes that are bad. Without knowing the tag names, it is impossible to rectify those bad inputs. We would need to open up AF again and trace the AF path to find out the tag names. It also limits our ability to deep dive on root cause using the same query. (eg. Multiple tags from the same interface are showing bad inputs – this is impossible without knowing the tag names).

    Just echoing what was said before in regard to being able to view the config string associated with an AF element attribute. This functionality already existed with OLEDB Enterprise.

    We're having PI performance issues that are stemming back to slow PI OLEDB queries. Our tests show that PI SQL Client is much faster than PI OLEDB, so we want to replace OLEDB with PI SQL Client. Unfortunately, these queries are tied to PI tags and not AF. PI SQL Client connections to the Data Archive would resolve this.

    Would be great to be able to query the ConfigString of an AF Element Attribute, similar to what PI OLEDB Enterprise had. This would allow for example to see the source PI Tag for an Attribute, but also understand its Source Units of measure, as opposed to only having access to the Default UOM by querying the Attribute's UnitOfMeasure.
