Parameters
- intervalDefinitions
- Type: System.Collections.GenericIListAFTimeIntervalDefinition
The list of time interval definitions used to produce the summary. The Range of each time interval definition within the list must be in consecutive order to produce the expected result. Any overlaps or gaps in the intervals will be ignored. - reverseTime
- Type: SystemBoolean
If set to , the results in each collection of AFValues will be returned in reverse order. - summaryTypes
- Type: OSIsoft.AF.DataAFSummaryTypes
A flag which specifies one or more summaries to compute for each interval over the time range - calculationBasis
- Type: OSIsoft.AF.DataAFCalculationBasis
Specifies the method of evaluating the data over the time range. - timeType
- Type: OSIsoft.AF.DataAFTimestampCalculation
A flag indicating what how to calculate a timestamp for each interval. - pagingConfig
- Type: OSIsoft.AF.PIPIPagingConfiguration
Contains the paging configuration parameters for the request.
Return Value
Type: IEnumerableIDictionaryAFSummaryTypes, AFValuesAn enumerable of summaries results for each PIPoint in the list. The results are not guaranteed to match the order of the PIPointList, and duplicate points in the list will not produce a duplicate result. The results can be mapped back to the corresponding PI Point using the PIPoint property on each result.
The order of the results are predictable; however, if you need the results in the same order as the attribute list, then consider using a dictionary keyed by PI Point to construct a list in the same order.
The points in the list are broken up by their corresponding PI Data Archive. A bulk call is made against each PI Data Archive in parallel. The results are made available as they are returned from the PI Data Archive in the order that the bulk calls were made.
The following example shows a list of points including duplicates from three different PI Data Archives:
| PI Point | PI Data Archive |
|---|---|
| Lobby_Room_Temperature | Contoso |
| Lobby_Room_Temperature | Northwind |
| Lobby_Room_Temperature | Contoso |
| Lobby_Room_Temperature | AdventureWorks |
| Kitchen_Room_Temperature | Contoso |
This table shows the order that the results would be returned:
| PI Point | PI Data Archive |
|---|---|
| Lobby_Room_Temperature | Contoso |
| Kitchen_Room_Temperature | Contoso |
| Lobby_Room_Temperature | Northwind |
| Lobby_Room_Temperature | AdventureWorks |
Since the first point is on the Contoso PI Data Archive, it is the first PI Data Archive to receive a bulk call; therefore, all Contoso point results will be returned first. Duplicate points do not produce a duplicate result, so the duplicate Contoso Lobby_Room_Temperature does not produce a second return value. After the Contoso results have been returned, the Northwind results are returned followed by the AdventureWorks results.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | The summaryTypes cannot be None. |
| OperationCanceledException | When an error occurs that prevents the operation from proceeding. Check the Error property on the pagingConfig object for more specific error information. |
| ArgumentNullException | When pagingConfig is . |
| ArgumentException | When intervalDefinitions is or the count is zero. |
Remarks
Time-weighted totals are computed by integrating the rate tag values over the requested time range. If some of the data are bad in the time range, the calculated total is divided by the fraction of the time period for which there are good values. Mathematically, this approach is equivalent to assuming that during the period of bad data, the tag takes on the average values for the entire calculation time range. The use can use the PercentGood summary to determine if the calculation results are suitable for the application's purposes.
| This method, property, or class is not available in the legacy .NET 3.5 version of the SDK. |
| This method will use a single bulk Remote Procedure Call if the PI Data Archive supports it, otherwise it will issue individual RPCs in parallel. Results are available for enumeration as they returned from the PI Data Archive. |
| When individual RPCs are issued in parallel, each RPC is made using the caller's security context. When making these calls while impersonating, the thread or runtime must be configured to propagate the impersonation across these asynchronous points (see the SecurityContext documentation for details). |
| The returned enumerable collection can be enumerated one time. As the collection is enumerated, the internal data structures are disposed. Any attempt to reset or enumerate a second time will result in an exception. |
| This call might use a background task to complete some of its work. See the Threading Overview for some matters to consider when execution transitions to another thread. |
