Extracting really huge amounts of data from PI, outside-the-box ideas?

Hi All, We all know there are several ways to extract large amounts of data from PI using PI Config or a custom tool using PI AFSDK. (The options basically here: How to write PI Data to files in XML format? ) But even these have their limitations. I've built some tools for that but i typically don't get near 1M events/second for a hostory… (Show more Show less)

Please see PI Developers Club Agreement as an example (paragraph 1.5 License Restrictions section a)). Here's a quote: ... Licensee agrees not to disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer such…

Hello Robin, You are asking if there is any wireless temperature and humidity sensor which is capable sending its data to a PI Server. I believe the thing you are asking doesn't yet exist. Many of us have been successful attaching sensors like the DHT11, DHT22 to a Raspberry PI or Arduino and to use e.g. Python scripts to read sensor data…

AF System Explorer very slow

Hi, We run two Archives (Collectives) and corresponding AF, both over 30k tags/attributes. System Explorer is running considerably slower on Production AF than on Utility AF. Switching from General to Attribute tab takes up to 15 seconds in Production vs. max 0.5s on Utility. Even clicking a different attribute than the selected takes 4… (Show more Show less)

Hello Lal Babu, I already created the AF SQL Database manually using the GO.Bat file as a work-around to the authentication issue. Yes I was using an "NT Servive\AFservice" account ... The reason why I am using 2016 R2 is that It was the only version I had at the moment nothing more, I will keep the upgrade idea in my mind. Thank you

PI Integrator for ESRI ArcGIS

Hello, Would like to know whether PI Integrator for ESRI ArcGIS will be able to communicate to multiple AF Servers or only single AF Server. Gregor Beck

Hi Nishanth, PI Integrator can communicate with multiple AF Servers but each View can only contain information from 1 AF Database. You can have multiple views from various AF Servers/databases. but each view contain data from 1 database.

AF Server and Analytics access to PI Server

We have a 2-node PI collective, 2 AF Servers behind a load balancer, and a separate Analytics server (Analysis and Notifications Services). I know the Analytics Server requires PI Buffer Subsystem configured so it can buffer and fanout data to the PI Collective. - Do the AF Servers need to have buffering configured? Do they ever write data to PI… (Show more Show less)

Philippe, When PI Analysis Service writes a value to a PI Point (as output of an analysis), if you have Buffering turned on, Buffering does several things. Buffering does the actual writing of the value to the Data Archive. Buffering also "fans" the value to all members of the Collective. Buffering also performs Compression on the value rather…

PI Interface for OPC HDA is a different product from PI Interface for OPC DA. You would need to buy an additional interface, if you do not have an inclusive license already. Please inquire in detail to your local account manager.

Statistical analysis of data stored in PI for large number of wells

Dear PI Community! I am working for an energy company. We are using PI to store and visualise the data from gas wells. I am looking for efficient ways to do statistical analysis of the data in PI (e.g. average pump speed for wells located in various fields, etc). I normally do this type of analysis in Excel using PI DatLink, however this is… (Show more Show less)

If you have reoccurring needs, then you may be better off using PI Integrator and prepare the data view for consumptions with tools like PowerBI. If it's rather occasional analysis, then perhaps the use of BI tools with PI SQL Client may be an option for you? For both uses, you will need PI AF in order to standardize your wells.

How to turn primary PI to secondary

Hi, We have a collective with 4 members. I need to promote a secondary PI to primary which I can do by directly using a 'promote' command. But there seems to be no way to 'demote' a primary PI to secondary. I need to convert current primary PI to secondary before I run the promote script for another secondary. But there seems to be no direct… (Show more Show less)

Why do you believe you must demote the current primary before promoting a secondary to be the new primary? Think of a worst case scenario if this were allowed to happen: you demote a primary. Until you promote a secondary, in those few seconds the collective lacks a primary. This could be seconds to minutes or more. What happens if others…
