Hello, I don't see any roadmap from OSIsoft/AVEVA for the currently supported products. Looks like OSIsoft decided collect SRP for the existing OSIsoft software products and promote only the AVEVA products. Thanks, Subburaman Sankaran

When a future pi point is published in the OPC DA server current value matches PI DA current value but it does not update new events on the PI DA You need to create another group in an OPC client or close the connection and reconnect to see new va...

The disadvantage of fixed archives is that they cannot grow or shrink. The disadvantage of dynamic archives is that they can potentially grow too much. Merging of small archives and splitting of large archives must be done manually. To solve this...

As a production supervisor, I would like to be able to convert historical data tags to future data tags so that I can more efficiently transition my production target tags from being something that I have to update every day, to something that I c...

Most of the time, zero, span, and typical value are unused, cause confusion, and/or lead to easy but costly mistakes. Typical value is probably the most useless PI Point attribute. It doesn't affect the PI system. It is just there for the user's ...

When you open the Services program (services.msc), none of the PI Data Archive services have a description. Please provide descriptions for these. The specific services are: PI Archive Subsystem PI Backup Subsystem PI Base Subsystem PI Buffer Subs...

During the Batch to Event Frames Migration, all migrated Event Frames are created with 'Migrated' templates (i.e. PIBatchMigrated, PIUnitBatchMigrated, etc.). I would like the ability to pick and choose what templates migrated Event Frames are cre...

Given that the archive file format is proprietary, this suggestion is me shooting in the dark. Disk compression compresses archive files very well, and my guess is that most of this compression occurs on the digital tags, since the number of poss...

When the Step attribute of a PI Point is "on", PI assumes that a value is constant until the next event, which works well in most cases. For PI Points that track rolling averages, rolling totals, real-time derivatives of totalizer tags with respe...

Currently, PI will always interpolate to determine a value for a PI Point between archived events. The Step attribute determines the interpolation method. "On" means "step interpolation" and "off" means "linear interpolation". This works well for ...
