Ability to capture and relate data together from Pharma/BioTech Tech Transfer Labs that are running product and process experiments.  The context and data is organized around the experiment rather than by the piece of equipment.  Could...

When the AF Server throws a network-related or instance-specific SQL error it only says that it failed to establish a connection to "SQL Server". It further says to check if the instance name is correct. However, it never says to what SQL server...

pH is a common enough unit that it should be in the UOM database by default. It is also tricky for customers to add pH themselves and get the dimensions correct, so it is best that OSIsoft does this for us.

It is possible to change the format after it is saved, but it should natively  be saved as an XML.

In PI System Explorer under the Management tab, add a new search category in Analysis Searches to allow searching by Backfilling.  The Backfilling status column is always shown in the results window, but there is no way to search by this column.

More generally, the UOM class should capture information per time. This is useful for labelling data transfer speeds and signal quality.

Currently, exponents in UOM abbreviations are not superscripted (e.g. cm2, ft3). Please use the proper superscript characters for these (e.g. cm², ft³).

Currently, if an attribute has a limit trait assigned to it, it cannot have child attributes. This seems somewhat arbitrary. Child attributes of attributes with limit traits would be useful for high/low warnings/alarms.

The Ratio UOM class represents part-to-whole ratios (i.e. the units are relative to the whole). Also, ratios are the result of a division. The division produces the number of wholes that the part represents. Any other ratio unit (e.g. %) requires ...

Elements usually do not have tens or hundreds of attributes. A lot of the time, it would be nice to be able to expand the attribute hierarchy all at once rather than expand each parent attribute separately.
