We have come across a number of occasions where we want to bring in the last good value of an attribute as an input to an analytics.  But there is no way to do this without additional attributes and analytics.  It would be convenient if ...

As an administrator, I need to ability to configure the life span of my PI data, so that data are kept or deleted accordingly. For example, data that should be deleted based on corporate mandates and data that should be kept forever are handled ac...

When using the Tuning Parameter, "Archive_OverwriteDataOnAutoShiftFailure", the system uses the oldest registered archive as the new primary. But it keeps the name of the old archive. It would be very helpful if the archive subsystem could rename ...

As an engineer, I want to execute analyses when I get a new future data value, so that any forecasts (either via Analysis or via a 3rd party system or via a PI Point update) can trigger analyses.

As an AF Administrator, I want to configure an Analysis Template for Event Frames with a True For parameter that would have it's value stored in an AF Attribute (configuration item). The use case is that elements built from the template will have ...

I would like to have monthly and yearly periodic trigger for Analysis-Expression and Event Frame Generation. Currently I have to use the daily trigger and check in the analysis if the month or the year changed. In case of “false” there is no outpu...

The arrays in Expression and Event Frame Generation analyses are useful, but use cases are emerging where more functions are needed to reduce/calculate the arrays in more streamlined fashion. For example, Concat function should support array of ch...

If an Analysis is triggered on "Any Input", and the inputs have the same timestamp but come in after each other, the Analysis is only triggered at the first input. For example: We have a simple Analysis which summarizes 2 tag. The first tag comes...

As a PI Administrator, I need to trust that the data is identical between my collective members. Currently, there is no way for me to be sure it is the same unless I do a side by side comparison. Data can be missing, or slightly off, and I have no...

There is a considerable amount of downtime in our system (20+ minutes) when a template change is performed. The root cause is a limitation on how the analysis service handles the removal of AF Attributes from the Data Cache. Due to this limitation...
