PI System Explorer - run as administrator

Hi I have implemented a PI system at a site where the user wants to be able run PI System Explorer from their machine to configure AF. Unfortunately, their IT policy dictates that they are not allowed to run any application as an administrator. Is their a way around this? That does not require the software to be run as an administrator?… (Show more Show less)

What is Reason Tree for?

Hello Together, saw the Reason Tree section in SMT and ask myself what is this for? SMT documentation ony states the following: "provides a convenient way to standardize operator comments in PI Data Archive" Live Library gives no enhanced information. I found nothing in annotation entry to select something like a reason. So what ist… (Show more Show less)

Hi Wolfgang, It appears to me as if the Reason Tree was implemented a while ago with good intention but the implementation has never been completed across products. If I am not mistaken with my impression, I agree with you that this looks like a dead end today. I am also wondering if a Digital State Set may not be a better fit for the purpose.…

load balancer setup for AF, ACE

Hello, We have a client that's after high availability infrastructure. They run business critical applications on their app server (ACE currently, which we intend to migrate to AF analytics calculations). This is straightforward enough for PI data archive with a collective. However for AF, my understanding is that OSIsoft recommend having two… (Show more Show less)

AF replication

I am trying to understand the various approaches we can take to replicate AF manually. I am familiar with the application level Load balancing approach as well as the SQL based approach. I am looking to keep two AF instances : 1 on prem and another on cloud. I would like to know if it is ideal to keep the two in sync by running the scripts… (Show more Show less)

Does PI Server 2018 require a PI AF Service once installed and operating assuming there is no PI AF Link subsystem required?

My question concerns a PI Server 2018 architecture where the PI Data Archive (1M tags) is solely required to store process data gathered through multiple OPC HDA interfaces and forward this process data to a second PI Server using multiple PI to PI Interfaces. There is no requirement for the PI AF Link subsystem or any other application use of PI… (Show more Show less)

Company A wants company B to push data to Company A's Pi Server. Who holds the responsibility of the "Control Network" and "DMZ" network?

Let's think of a situation where: Company A has OSISoft Pi already set up and running. Company B owns and holds the data (in their own data servers) that are related to Company A's plants, and Company A wants Company B to send these data to Company A's Pi Server through a Pi Connector. After reading "PI Connector 2.2 Administration Guide" it's not… (Show more Show less)

Hi all, thanks for replying. Gregor Beck, yes and yes. Your answer seems quite helpful and correct. No, Company A does not act as IT service provider, so it's quite clear now. This is what I was also thinking of but had to verify, because I am not familiar with Pi Systems and Architecture. I marked your answer as correct. Thank you

pverey mentioned PI System Architecture and Design 3 months ago

Thank you, you confirm my assumption that there is no reliance on PI AF once the PI DA has been installed and is operating. b.t.w. I have recreated this query under the more appropriate All Places > PI Developers Club > PI System Architecture and Design > DiscussionsPreview Hide preview

Hello Taleb, I need to make a few guesses due to missing details but assume what happens could be explained with the following. Enabled authentication methods and their order is a client setting. By default clients have all protocols enabled with the following order: Windows Security, PI Trust, Default User. You can verify the settings using…
