Data Archive

Allow the creation of tag name aliases.  This would allow us to present more user friendly option for tag name searches.  It would also help present a standardized tag name to users for tags from sources that don't follow our standard ta...

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...

Add Performance counter that displays the %License Match for better system evaluation.

As a PI admin, I wish there was a GUI way to set up backup tasks instead of needing to go to the command line to set up my backup task. (FS, 415 hrs) As a PI admin, I have a hard time setting up backup scripts to write to an external data source...

Storing the thread history(pibasess/piarchss etc) along with the connection history will help to better understand and troubleshoot issues on the archive and will serve as a kind of auditing on the behavior of connections.

Allow the Primary Data Archive server read-write access to any shared archives. All Secondary data archive servers would have read-only access. This would fix case Case # 925881. We have tags with old timestamps, for example, environmental limits,...
