Enhance Visibility of Event Frame Generator/Batch Interface History Recovery Status

Currently when running any event frame generator interface (EFGen, PIFTBatch, etc.) in history recovery mode, there is no way to monitor progress of the actual history recovery. The only way to determine status is to check message logs periodically looking for the message "Switching to [REALTIME] data processing.". It would be helpful if there was a way to check progress of the history recovery (i.e. percent complete) along with an estimated time until completion. I'm currently in a position in which I'm running a PI-FTBatch interface history recovery, but also have users who need access to FTBatch EVT data generated after the start of the PI interface history recovery. I currently have no way to communicate to the users how long it will be before this EVT data is processed into event frames in PI. Additionally, it would be great to have the ability to perform history recovery on a single EVT file in the event of an issue with a particular recipe. Currently history recovery is a time based operation only. Allowing for history recovery on a single EVT would allow a more surgical option while helping minimize the time not spent in real time mode.
