Configure advanced features

Advanced features are disabled by default. Configuration of advanced features is stored in the ConnectorGlobal.config.json file under (C:\Program Files\PIPC\Connectors\CygNet\Configuration).

• AssetSingleThreading

  If set to the default (true), the connector discovers assets from the CygNet server in a single task. This is recommended for best performance in most environments. In some cases, retrieving assets with multiple tasks by setting the value to false may decrease the discovery time. For additional assistance, contact Technical Support.

• MarkForDeletion

  If set to true, when points are removed from the server, the local copy of the points is supposed to be removed as well. However, these points cannot actually be deleted in the PI AF database (which is why they are marked for deletion), so no more data will be sent to those points.

• CreateNewPIPointIfLongPointIdUpdated

  Long Point Id gets updated on the CygNet server side. If the CreateNewPIPointIfLongPointIdUpdated parameter is set to true, a new PI point will be created. If the parameter is set to false, you will need to restart the connector service in order for the connector to create a new PI point on restart.

  Note: The update of Long Point Id depends on the following two parameters: Facility ID and Uniform data code. If you change either one of those two parameters, the change has to be reflected in Long Point Id, which means that you manually have to change the parameter.
