Step 5 - Validate your data

You should validate that the data was created successfully in the on-premises PI System. This simple example application should have created one PI Point, and stored three values in it.

To validate that the dynamic type was created, open PI System Explorer, navigate to the AF Database the PI Web API has been configured to use, and select the Library tab at the bottom-left. Expand the Templates item, then expand the Element Templates item. An Element Template named DataType should exist.

To validate that the container and dynamic data was created, open PI System Management Tools, navigate to Points/Point Builder, and search for your PI point. The name of the PI point will be the ID of the container you created earlier, container1. Hover the mouse over the name and verify that it contains the last value and timestamp sent. See the PI System Management Tools guide for additional information.
