Batch Framework Interfaces - Officially support fanning tag data to a PI Collective

Unlike other PI interfaces, the Batch Framework Interfaces do not use buffering. If the interface loses connection to the PI Data Archive, the interface continues collecting data and stores it in its local cache. The PI Batch Database is primary-only so it did not make sense to fan data to other PI Collective members. However, this is no longer a consideration if Event Frames are being written. There should be an officially tested and supported way to fan tag data to a PI Collective.

      Batch Interfaces support buffering with the latest 5.x releases. Please review your batch interface's release notes for additional information.

      This was implemented on versions 5.1.x of all PI Batch Interfaces. More detais in the article How to buffer data from a PI Interface for Batch/MES

      The PI EMDVB getting the buffering capacity would be a huge benefit!

      This was widely talked about by attendees to AVEVA World 2022. I hope we can see some work on this.

      This is a common request from our customers in chemicals and pharma - adding a second interface to bring in data to the secondary is not at all ideal, and the missing batch tag data on the secondary greatly diminishes the value of a collective.

      I have heard a lot of feedback that the power users of our batch data need this to adopt.

      This is very much needed by customers that heavily utilize batch data, but are reluctant to adopt this without official support.

      It would be absolutely helpful to implement this. Great idea and full support!

      Writing tag data to secondary PI server via Batch Interface would be very helpful for us too!

      We could definitely use this... that way my users won't have to worry about "missing" data when they are looking at the other collective members!!

      Makes sense - I had a mfg site decline to implement a collective at first because they might be missing batch data if looking at the secondary server in the collective.

      It would be a great improvement for us too.

      This would be a huge improvement. We are forced to use Tag Templates with our Werum PAS-X Batch Interface since the Business Integrator does not publish data until the event is closed and our records can remain open for 2+ weeks. We plan on publishing the same static attribute data generated to tags but not supporting buffering (essentially not support a collective) is a huge issue at our site.

      This is a no brainer, definitely should be supported.

      I agree that it is necessary to have batch interfaces fan data to a collective. In our use case, we rely on batch data to trigger analytics. Without data going to both collective members, we have no way to ensure our analytics are only connecting to the primary server without subsequently impacting buffering on our analytics outputs. This is really a large oversight with the batch interfaces as OSIsoft continues to grow the analytics capabilities. If batch interfaces do not support buffering, other products need to be able to accommodate this deficiency.
