Advanced interface features (optional)

Consider configuring the interface for disconnected startup. Similarly, consider configuring UniInt Failover. See UniInt Interface User Manual for details.

• UniInt health points

  UniInt health points are interface points that UniInt writes to, which indicate the operational status of the interface. You can create UniInt health points using the PI Interface Configuration Utility. For more information, see the OSIsoft Tech Support article KB01231 - Troubleshooting Performance Issues with UniInt Health Tags.

• Automatic point synchronization (APS)

  Many interfaces, such as the PI OPC interface, support automatic point synchronization (APS). For example, PI points can be automatically created on Data Archive based on the points in the OPC server using a configurable set of rules. To determine whether your interface supports APS, check your interface-specific documentation.

  If the interface of interest has an APS Connector, consult the interface's PI AutoPointSync Connector manual for configuration steps. You can also refer to the PI AutoPointSync user manual and OSI PI COM Connector user manual for additional information.
