AFDatabase.DefaultPIServerName Property
This property is the name of the default PIServer for this AFDatabase.

Namespace:  OSIsoft.AF
Assembly:  OSIsoft.AFSDK (in OSIsoft.AFSDK.dll) Version: 3.1.1.1182

Syntax

public string DefaultPIServerName { get; set; }
Public Property DefaultPIServerName As String
	Get
	Set

Dim instance As AFDatabase
Dim value As String

value = instance.DefaultPIServerName

instance.DefaultPIServerName = value
public:
property String^ DefaultPIServerName {
	String^ get ();
	void set (String^ value);
}
member DefaultPIServerName : string with get, set

Property Value

Type: String
The name of the default PIServer for this AFDatabase. Returns if a default PIServer has not been set.

Remarks

This property is the name of the default PIServer for this AFDatabase. When this property is set, it is used to resolve any %SERVER% substitutions for any configuration strings in this AFDatabase and will make this substitution token consistent across all client machines. When both the default PIServer of the PISystem and the AFDatabase are not set, then the %SERVER% substitutions will resolve to the DefaultPIServer setting for the current client machine. Changing this property is an easy way to modify the PI Data Archive that the configuration strings are referencing in a single location.

Supported in: 3.1.1, 3.1.0, 3.0.2, 3.0.1, 3.0.0, 2.10.11, 2.10.5
