Allow different Interpolation Modes for Data Views

When querying data through the PI Connector for PowerBI using Data Views, you are only able to use the default Interpolation Mode which is Continuous. The Continuous Interpolation Mode returns interpolated data using previous and next index values. If either of the previous or next index values are null, then the returned value will be null as well. This means that if you are querying a timestamp that is later than the latest archived value in OCS, the return value will be null. There are multiple Interpolation Modes available for read stream data, please make them available for the Data Views as well, specifically the ContinuousNullableLeading mode which returns interpolated data or data from the previous index if either of the surrounding indexes has a null value.

    Users who are seeking to replicated similar functionality as PI DataLink do really need this capability.


    For example, when requesting interpolated values over the last 24 hours:


    Within CONNECT Data Services,if there was not a valid data event within the last 24 hours, the Data Views retrieval would return nulls for all of those interpolations...

    While the AF SDK call used by PI DataLink would return the most recent data event that was recorded for that tag, repeated for each interpolation interval.


    There are absolutely cases where the latter behavior from the AF SDK is preferable. Can thus an option be added to allow additional methods of retrieval for Data Views, please?
