Begin the display names of all PI services with "AVEVA"

Back when OSIsoft owned PI, all of the PI services began with "PI", and so they all appeared next to each other in the list of services, which is usually sorted alphabetically. However, after AVEVA bought OSIsoft and took over PI, any new PI services would begin with "AVEVA", while the existing PI services still began with just "PI", meaning that you need to look in 2 areas in the list of services to find all PI programs.

To solve this, please begin the display names of all PI services with "AVEVA" (e.g. "AVEVA PI Archive Subsystem"). At the very least, please do this for the modern PI services. Even though I posted this suggestion under "AVEVA™ PI Server", consider this suggestion to apply to all PI services.


Examples of PI services that begin with "AVEVA":

  • AVEVA Adapters

  • AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility

  • AVEVA Identity Manager

  • CONNECT To PI Agent


Examples of PI services that do not begin with "AVEVA":

  • All services from the PI Server install kit

  • PI SQL Data Access Server (RTQP Engine)

  • PI To CONNECT Agent

  • PI Buffer Subsystem

  • PI Interfaces

  • PI Connectors

  • PI Web API

  • Attach files
