Analytics & Calculations

The current 'Analysis Service Statistics' explain quantitatively "what is happening", but do not quantify the available capacity of the analytics engine. Managing a large and busy AF Server involves far too much guesswork as to how much additional...

it will be useful to schedule an analysis with a specific Time Zone in order to be aligned with the local time and, especially, with the local setting for DST.

When input PI Tags are referenced in PI Vision 2020+ calculations, they do not automatically detect PI Tag name changes. For users with a lot of calculations, this can be extremely problematic in the event of a PI Tag name change. In the event of ...

I need to calculate a running sum (totalizer) of a PI Point and reset it to 0 at the beginning of each month. I would like to do this with Asset based Analytics. There are workarounds to do this, but none are great. For example, one workaround inv...

Use case: 1. An element has an attribute that looks up information on equipment configuration (ex: a pump rate) 2.  Due to an equipment change, the lookup table and the element were increased in version 3. A backfill needed to be performed o...

Currently there is no way to know if Analytics missed important updates (e.g. start of a batch) without analyzing the message logs. However, the AFSDK does provide an indication on the DataPipe if the pipe is in an overflow state, allowing for a c...

I would like to be able to insert a new variable above or below a highlighted variable, instead of having the new variable always go to the bottom of the list. This is very problematic when needing to add a new variable to the top of the list when...

I would like to be able to do a Rollup Analysis of Booleans attributes, without casting or converting the boolean. As Rollup Functions I would suggest: Logical AND, Logical OR and maybe Count of True/False. It can be use to create a Combined Stat...

There are no number base conversion functions available in AF Analysis. There are many situations where I need to convert numbers between different 'number bases'. I frequently work with MODBUS devices and there are many times number base conversi...

I have an analysis that is event-triggered by multiple attributes. This analysis has the purpose of merging input attribute events with output tag, therefore I need to know which attribute triggered analysis to save only the newest event to outpu...
