As a customer who is moving their PI Data Archive historic data to a Centralized IT Facility, hosting another PI Data Archive, and that would like to import tags and historic data from another PI Data Archive, it would be great to have a functionality on PI Archive Subsystem and PI System Management Tools that allow to import PI Points and their historic data to the centralized PI Data Archive without having to perform all the steps for the Merge procedure.
Another option would be to have an improved PI Base, Snapshot and Archive Subsystem services, that allow to have more than 1 set of historic data files and PI Points, organized in a hierarchical way, so it is easy to import data coming from another PI Data Archive.
