By default, do not install the PI Module Database Builder when the PI System Management Tools install kit is run
Similar to how the PI DataLink install kit included PI DataLink (Legacy) but required manual modification to setup.ini in order to install it (this was before PI DataLink Legacy was dropped from the PI DataLink install kit entirely), the PI Module...
Make the tuning parameter PointDb_RemoveEmptySource visible by default
This tuning parameter toggles the automatic deletion of unused point sources. By default, it is hidden and the automatic deletion is disabled.
Point sources are used mainly for PI Interfaces, which are slowly being replaced with PI Connectors and...
It would be very intesting to access tuning parameters (that are present in PI SMT) via AFSDK.
This is interesting when you have to manage dozens of PI DA servers and you want to ensure they are all correctly configured (and no change are performe...
Update 'Modified date' of an event frame when an attribute is filled in manually (for example with reason code)
At this point, only the modified date of an event frame is updated when the event frame is created or when a backfill or recapture is performed. For transferring data to a data lake or warehouse, it would be very useful to see which event frames c...
Ability to find the EFGEN configuration server name and interface ID for Event frames
It would be great if we can know from which machine EFGEN interface are configured and the corresponding EFGEN interface Id for a particular event, so it will be easy to troubleshoot the issues occurring in event frame generation.
Event Frames Scalability - For Customer Advisory Lab Scenarios
#of assets (in this specific scenario): 500-1000
EF Count: Generation rate of 25,000/day peak, would like to historize for 1+y = 9,000,000 events+
Attributes: 5-10 attributes/event (static or PI Point)
Flat Hierarchy
Queries: EF are alarms or ...
Store event frame start and end time as DateTime to allow sub-millisecond duration event frames
Because event frame start and end time are stored as a bigint datatype in PIFD.dbo.AFEventFrame, the precision only seems to be to the nearest millisecond. This is a problem for sub-millisecond event frames. Why aren't event frame start and end ti...
Add an Annotations column to the Event Frames search window
It would be nice to add an Annotations column to the search page of Event Frames, so that I can better analyze them directly from PSE for administration purposes
Keeping old events that have been manually worked on in case of Recalculation/Backfill
Case 1.
There are some EFs that should be acknowledged and commented by equipment owners. In Pharma World, these comments qualify as GxP and shall not be deleted. Whereas Event Frames generated by analysis can sometimes due to data coming late or ...
End first child event frame when StartTrigger condition no longer is fulfilled
Currently child event frames are only created when the following applies:
+ There's an End Trigger
+ There's a second Start Trigger that takes over
Unlike later child event frames, the first one will not end simply because its own Start Trigger c...
