PI to CONNECT

    Make the Agent recrawl the AF/PI Point database from scratch

    Make the agent recrawl the AF/PIPoint database from scratch every now and again and update its cache if required. I think this is what PI Vision does, so it doesn't have these limitations.

    Add documentation on architectural best practice

    When setting up PI to Connect Agent transfers, we need to emphasize in the documentation that we recommend installation of the PI Agent on the same network, and in the same physical location, but not on the same server as the PI server it will be ...

    Launch history recovery data transfers in steps

    When we want to backfill all data from a PI Server into CONNECT Data Services, this could be long and painful. A single data transfer to perform such for a few years may take weeks. It would be good to have the ability to specify an "endtime" alon...

    __ParentID metadata should be parent Asset ID, not parent element GUID in AF.

    As a connect data services user, it is more helpful to me to know the parent asset id of my asset rather than its parent element GUID. This would allow me to more easily navigate the Asset hierarchy programatically.

    Enable Dynamic Transfer Selection Criteria that PI to CONNECT periodically re-evaluates

    Have an option such that the transfer selection criteria are dynamically evaluated. Example: User selects AF root node Chooses "all elements" below that node Rather than explicit selection of add elements, evaluate dynamically so that as elements ...

    Allow administrators to change which CONNECT tenant/Namespace of the agent

    As an administrator, the only mechanism to change the tenant or namespace of the installed agent is to completely uninstall and reinstall the agent. You can remove the agent from the Data Services Agent screen, but the Agent Configuration doesn't ...

    Alert if ingress detected to be in a bad state

    During 2 recent lighthouse projects, most recently with Kimball Electronics, the machine hosting the PI to CONNECT agent experienced a reboot due to patch installations. PI to CONNECT didn't properly restart (we'll investigate that separately) and...

    Monitoring network traffic of PI to CONNECT Agent

    If there is a connection between a PI Server and a restricted Network (limited traffic due to a restriction of the data plan or restrictions by government authorities - e.g. China), it would be helpful to have information about the actual and esti...

    Adding PI to CONNECT Transfer replication behaviour based on Edit Mode Search

    Problem: Currently, each asset and stream from the PI System must be added individually to the PI to CONNECT Transfer. If an organisation wants to replicate all assets in a specific category or under a root element of the PI Asset Hierarchy, every...

    Enabling PI to CONNECT Transfer Configuration via API

    Current Issue: To use CONNECT Data Services productively, we need to import sequential data streams and assets from our PI System. However, our asset landscape changes frequently. Manually adding each new asset and stream is time-consuming and lim...
