PI OPC Interface Failover with different versions of Windows server

Hello All. The idea is to perform PI and OPC Interfaces upgraded to latest versions and on Windows 2016 servers. Currently we have 2 OPC interfaces with failover configured on a Windows 2008 Servers. We plan to replace one of those interface servers with the exact same OPC Interface versions, but on a Windows 2016 server and test if… (Show more Show less)

There should be no issue. Take the non-active interface down, substitute the new machine with a PI-OPC interface configured identically and it should come online as the backup.

What is a good AF structure/hierarchy regarding many analyses?

Hi, I would like to get some input into what is a good structure/hierarchy in AF. Most tutorials and guides about AF uses simple sites with one or two components, each component having one or two analyses. I'd like to get some comments regarding what you think is a good approach for structuring data in AF with respect to analyses and how this… (Show more Show less)

Several things come to mind about that: 1. With derived templates, you could (as much as possible) only include the required attributes in each template. That should help cut down the number of attributes. 2. In an element you can choose to exclude attributes (assign them the property excluded). These can then be hidden in PI System Explorer…

PI Datalink 2017/2018 - installation GPO/configuration

Hello, I am working on creating some VDI workstations that will have PI Datalink on them. I have created the Win 10 image, and it's ready. I was hoping to avoid configuring each user's profile individually but I get the popup about trusting the *vsto file, and none of the preferences are kept from the default profile. examples : - File… (Show more Show less)

I figured out I can get part of the way there via osisoft.pi datalink.ui.vsto.xml but there are a few settings that seem to be outside this: There's this, and approving raplib as well Any thoughts anyone? Do you really need admin right to run the installer if not? We would really prefer not to make the users local admins..... Paul

Discrete data in PI DA or RMDBS

Hi, woud you say its best practise to save alarms/events or weight data in PI DA or use an RMDBS for that instead? Isnt DA more appropriate for analog data like temperature and so on? Best Regards Ivar

I have little to no experience with OPC DA Advise; I have used OPC on poll extensively, so I cannot comment on advise. In term of the data archive handling it, that is not an issue; a former co-worker worked with an interface that received 30 values per second and the data archive didn't even blink. For the analysis engine, I don't think the…

PE tag for PIMin

I want to use the TagMin function to return the min acrhived value for a period. But it seems the function is doing a statistical calculation but I need the minimum logged archive value. Reason is I am trying to count the number of skips per hour which is based on a totalizer . Any help or recommendations would be appreciated.

Yes, it is done with Performance Equations. Want to roll a count incrementor up into hourly buckets. The incrementor also resets at the end of the day. Not using Asset Framework.

PI to PI Interface & Credential manager

I have a PI to PI interface set up to be configured. The PI DA and Interface server are at different domains. We have connected them through the same SVC account name with both domains. The mappings have been set up and required access has been given. We are still not able to make a connection. I get an error as "Credentials validation failed"… (Show more Show less)

[PI Manual Logger] Instructions formatting in grid view.

Hi, is it possible to keep the formatting like newlines, for fields such as "instructions", when viewing a tour in grid data entry view? The instructions looks proper for me when in individual entry view, but in grid view only the html element "<br />" is shown instead.

I solved the problem by following this article. In the vm.tourrun.js file, which is located at ..\Scripts\app, added encoded: false to the Instructions column configuration I found the instructions of where in the file to add the configuration setting unclear, here's a screenshot of where its supposed to be.

Can PI Buffer Subsystem unbuffer to a new server?

The use case is moving a PI DA server to new hardware. In order to minimise data loss and cause minimum disruption to clients, the new server should have the same IP address, hostname/FQDN, and PI System ID (GUID) as the original. It will also be the same version of PI DA - any upgrade, if required, can happen later. To simplify further, I'm… (Show more Show less)
