Improve Data Cache Performance by parallelizing Data Archive update fetches
Currently, when the Data Cache is signed up for updates on multiple data archives, updates from each archive are fetched in series, one after another. When there are many data archives involved (especially if they are geographically dispersed) thi...
Define default scheduling for newly created PI Analyses
When creating new analyses with Asset Analytics, our users sometimes forget to modify the scheduling from natural to periodic, which might lead to high trigger ratios and degraded performance. AF should allow administrators to define the default a...
As an user, I want to be able to have a localized element and attribute name in addition to the base language, so that my users do not have to learn a different language.
Allow output expressions when using implicit Event Frame generation modes
In AF/Analytics 2018, implicit modes of Event Frame generation were introduced (Pulse, Step, and Step Continuous), but they do not allow for an output expression like the explicit trigger. Adding this functionality would allow for EF attribute val...
As a PI user, I want to be able to visualize and analyze the SQC violations that are generated by the SQC rules.
The ability to save SQC outputs such as Mean, median, mode, stdev, Cpk, max, min, 1-5 sigma zones, ucl, lcl in the follo...
Be able to sort Elements and be displayed in ways other than alphabetically.
We have seen several instances where we would like to have the order of element displayed in AF/Vision be sorted by process order, not alphabetically. Suggest adding a "sort" field and an option to have element arranged by that rather than a...
Add a PI Analysis Service performance counter to track stopped analyses
The PI Analysis Service has performance counters to track the number of running analyses and the number of suspended analyses, but there is not one that tracks the number of stopped analyses. Currently, the only way to monitor how many AF analyses...
Use Case: calculating which Shift is working within a rotating-shift cycle, which must the follow Daylight Savings Time offset.
This function is available in the Performance Equation library, but not in AF. The function itself is simple once one ...
Order by name (alphanumerically) the Analysis in the Management tab in PI System Explorer
I would like to be able to order by name (alphanumerically) the Analysis in the Management tab in PI System Explorer after retrieving a list of analyses through a search/filtering. This could be done by clicking on the Name column.
Allow for PI AF templates to be version controlled. Include the ability to revert to previous template version, or continue to use old versions for specific elements. This will reduce the risk of deployment and improve change/release management pr...
