The AF XML Import/Export is described by OSIsoft as a tool for backing up and restoring an AF database to either the same server or a different server. However, one object relationship that is not included in the XML file is an Event Frame's refer...

It would be great to use Event Frames to classify and afterwards be able to do Equipment Downtime root cause analysis. We’re using Reason codes on the predefined field, however it would be great to have a second available Code Editors than “Reason...

To avoid creating several templates, suggested adding the possibility to choose the duration In the Event Frame-->Advanced Event Frame Settings-->Generate child root cause event frame before parent event frame starts, to be different for eac...

It would be interesting to have a GUI, maybe inside PI SMT, that would allow users to configure their PIBackups directly without having to mess around in 2-3 batch files. Checkboxes for the most common options, Active/inactive box etc. You could...

Normally our TAGs are filled with data coming from an analysis (or PI-Equation) by snapshot-data or recalculated data. But sometimes we have to do manual corrections due to data loss and have to write data to this PI-TAGs manually. And we are not ...

As a PI Administrator, currently there is no way to compress or average (then delete) your data automatically after an event reaches a certain age. It would be nice to have the ability to automatically compress or average specific tags after the e...

Currently, the Data Archive stores the timestamp of an event as well as it's value. It would be useful to also store the timestamp at which the event arrives at the Data Archive (perhaps this could be a configurable option set for individual tags)...

Proposed features - search for TAGS in PI SMT using also logical operators (like AND, OR and NOT) to refine the search criteria -  search for MESSAGE LOGS in PI SMT using also logical operators (like AND, OR and NOT) to refine the search c...

Can buffer subsystem be enhanced to manage value deletions from tags? We have a collective and utilize buffering to send data to both collective members however we have to jump through hoops to delete data from both collective members. It would be...

When backfilling tags from AF its very easy to update many archives. I would like the backup script to only require free space for archives that don't exist in the target folder. We have periodic incremental backup failures do to a lack of free di...
