A way to specify within the analyses if input values should be retrieved from the Data Archive or the PIAF Cache. Thereby preventing different results during real-time calculation and for instance backfills and decreasing the execution time of ana...

For PI System Administrators, it would be nice to be able to easily get a list of all buffered or unbuffered points on the PI Data Archive. Currently, a list of buffered points is possible to retrieve using 'piartool -bfs -ptlist', but a comprehe...

Have a way to manually (or automatically via another calculation/analytic) put the status of an asset/equipment into an offline/maintenance mode that has the effect of turning any analyses and notifications for that asset off.

Analyses can suffer from bad calculations due to bad events for a tag, such as system digital state events returned for a numerical tag. Although BadVal() can be implemented to avoid using bad events in these analyses, they add another layer of ...

It would be useful to trigger event-triggered rollup analyses upon adding new children. Currently rollup analyses are only triggered when rollup attributes are updated (and not triggered when rollup attributes are added). This would be particularl...

PI System Explorer Management Tab should have better search criteria. For example, select specific elements in which to rerun an Analysis. Maybe use Element = something OR/AND Element = something else. Or search by element path.

It is difficult to find all the analyses from template to backfill/recalculate after making changes in Analysis Template.  Currently one has to navigate to the Management plug-in, do some sort of search/filter, then queue the analyses.  ...

When a failover occur or at service startup, ALL analysis configured for backfilling executes based on the last configured backfill/recalculate timerange. There is actually no feature to manually remove a configured backfill on a specific analysis.

Currently we have an analysis with the output timestamp set to be a variable within the analysis. If I map that variable to an output, it includes the subseconds, but the output time for the analysis is truncated to the second. The output time for...

Occasional back filling of data would cause 5 TB of archives to be backed up with incremental backups. This is frustrating because only a few KB of data is changed in each archive. Can OSIsoft provide a way to backup only the data that has changed...
