Data Read and Date Write (Buffering) from/to PI Data Archive is based on the priority settings in PI SDK and PSE. We have a architecture of 6 member PI collective and all the source data is not buffered to the individual collective. Hence for other applications like PI Analysis or any other 3rd party applications data read should from couple of collective members and data write should be to 4 collective members.
As per the current setup, if we enable the priority for 2 members in collective, data read and write is happening only for those members (Default behavior). But we need separate priority to control the data Read and data Write Operations separately.
This feature will help us in resolving many business critical issues and other applications to leverage the features of PI.
