Custom Symbols using PIWebAPI in PI Vision

Dear OSIsoft Support Team, We are currently developing with WebAPI for some custom symbols in PI Vision. We know that currently PI Vision 2020 no longer requires PIWebAPI and we would like to know if the PIWebAPI is going to be deprecated in the future or if it's a tool that is in OSIsoft roadmap for the future

    Hi Manuel - PI Web API is an active product that has ongoing development. In PI Vision 2019, PI Web API was used specifically for PI Indexed Search and not for any data access purposes. After evaluating the improvements made to the AF SDK, we saw an opportunity for PI Vision 2020 to use AF search as more reliable and simpler to support than the PI Indexed Search in PI Web API. The removal of PI Web API from PI Vision should not change a customer’s decision to use it. The only documented way to retrieve PI data in custom symbols is using the data shapes defined in the extensibility model, so the use of PI Web API in custom symbols is considered an external data source. Since it is no longer bundled with PI Vision, it may require some additional steps to install/configure but those should be addressed during the symbol development. For more information on PI Vision extensibility, please see our github site here: https://github.com/osisoft/OSI-Samples-PI-System/tree/main/docs/PI-Vision-Extensibility-Docs
