In the PI Asset Framework Database SQL Scripts, replace the batch (.bat) scripts with PowerShell (.ps1) scripts

In the PI Asset Framework Database SQL Scripts, there are 3 "GO.BAT" files and 1 "afbackup.bat" file. These should be replaced with PowerShell scripts for several reasons:

  • PowerShell is easier to read and is a more powerful language than the batch language.

  • Batch scripts are best used in Windows, whereas PowerShell is cross-platform. This replacement will support OSIsoft's expansion outside of Windows.

  • Microsoft is pushing for PowerShell and leaving batch files in the dust.

  • The scripts are short and therefore easy to convert to PowerShell scripts.
