Currently, AF search results can only be sorted by a single field. It would be useful to have the capability to specify 2 (or more) SortField values so that the order of results can be guaranteed in the result of a tie.
For example, being able to...
Limit Analytics to Only Write to Specific Pointsource
A useful setting for PI Analytics would be the ability to specify a specific pointsource that the Analytic service writes to. This would help tremendously to troubleshoot what tags on the PI DA server are being written to by AF Analytics.
Extend PI audit trail to include changes made to snapshot using SMT
Using the SMT tool with the PI archive editor you can enter current values using * as time. This enters directly into the snapshot but is not recorded in the audit trail. All changes made should be recorded
Delay Real-Time Calculations until backfill is finished.
For recursive Analyses such as below :
PrevVal(tagA,'*') + 'TagB' → output : tagA
When the PI Analysis Service is down (or the node needs to be restarted), the current calculation needs to be halted until the Backfilling reaches up to the start u...
Show Child Attribute in Analysis PE Editor Auto-Complete
As a user configuring Analyses, I would the the Performance Equation (PE) Editor's auto-complete to suggest any child attributes as well as regular attributes. Note: This was previously Enhancement 109589.
Allow the use of filter expressions, similarly PI DataLink Compressed Data, so that you can visualize or perform calculations on filtered data (e.g., excluding bad values, certain digital states, etc.).
Compare exported AF templates to other environments

Example.
Make changes to element/attribute/archive templates in dev. Export library to XML. Compare export...
AF Audit Trail for deleted items should retain friendly database name

Exclude analysis output attributes when the analysis is suspended
When the PI Analysis service determines an Analysis should be Suspended, it should also set any output Attributes to be Excluded. As the Analysis is Suspended, it will not output any results and if it has always been Suspended, the output Tags wil...
