Hi,
I have a problem connecting to PIVision in the first place, let alone doing any exercises.
I have launched 3 VMs (PIDC, PIINT1, PISRV1) for another OsiSoft online course (Configuring a Simple PI System), but attempting to connect to https://PISRV1/PIVision (by analogy with https://webServer/PIVision in the course book) gives a "This site can’t be reached" error (see screenshot).
Could anyone help with this? I am connecting with Chrome from within the VM.
Regards,
Alexey
Hello Alexey Rodriguez Blanter, PI Vision is not by default installed on the "Configuring a Simple PI System" virtual machines. Without PI Vision installed and configured, the URL will not be able to resolve. I'd recommend using the Virtual machines for this course with Vision already installed and configured for you.
Hi Lal Babu Shaik and Jessica Rammo, thank you for your replies!
@Jessica Rammo: I did not find a way to launch the virtual machines for this course, unlike "Configuring a Simple PI System". The latter has a "Launch Cloud Environment" page, while this course does not. It does have a link to "Training Cloud Environment (Monthly)" on the "Key Course Information" page, but that link leads to here: Training Cloud Environments (One Month Access) and seems to cost extra 259 euro.
@ Lal: Where do I find this inetmgr executable exactly?
Inetmgr is the short form for IIS Manager. If you click on Start , Run and type inetmgr then it will open IIS manager. You can find default website configured. Drill down default website and you should find PI Vision if installed on the machine. If you are unable to find PI Vision then you need to install PI Vision as per specified in your lab. If IIS is missing then would request you to follow PI Vision installation and Configuration guide and check how to enable features.
Note that Lal Babu Shaik's suggestion will only be relevant if you are logged into a server with IIS installed (prerequisite to PI Vision) but the environment you are trying to use does not have IIS installed.
The "Visualizing PI System Data" course does not include free access to a virtual learning environment like the "Configuring a Simple PI System" does. We can see this information in the course Price and Software Requirements section.
259 USD: By signing up for this course you will have access to:
OSIsoft Engineers who can review your final project
Sharable certificate of completion that can be directly posted on LinkedIn (*To obtain the certificate of completion, you need to pass the final project.)
You can also audit the video lecture content on the OSIsoft Learning YouTube Channel. This does not include the exercises, supplementary readings, graded final project or certificate of completion.
Software Requirements:
Learners are encouraged to use their own software and data structures whenever possible. This allows each learner to immediately leave the course with something valuable to their enterprise. In order to complete the exercises and the final project, you need to have the following software installed:
PI Vision 2017 or later (connected to PI Data Archive and Asset Framework)
If you do not have access to your own PI System, subscribe to the optional Training Cloud Environment to work with the "PI System Clients - Cloud Environment" :
Training Cloud Environment (Monthly)
Training Cloud Environment (Yearly)
Do you have Vision installed at your Enterprise? If not, purchasing the virtual learning environment may be required to complete the course.
On PISRV1 server, request you to follow below steps
1) Run--> inetmgr
2) Default Website --> PI Vision (right click and browse)
3) In case of any error, check application pools below server node in IIS (Application pools should be running)
4) Finally check event viewer logs for any errors if above does not help in finding the root cause.
