Parameters

host

Type: SystemString
The name of the host machine where the PI AF Server for this PISystem is executing.

forceNewInstance (Optional)

Type: SystemBoolean
Set to to force the creation of an independent PISystem object for the current user with a separate cache.

Return Value

This method will return a PISystem instance based upon the specified host address for the current user. If the same user calls this method multiple times, the same instance of the PISystem is returned. If a different user calls this method, then a new instance of the PISystem is returned that is independent of the previous user's object.

It is important to call this method to acquire the correct PISystem for a user in a multi-user application before accessing SDK objects. This will ensure the correct object cache and connection to the server is used for the user.
