About continuously published views

Views can be published continuously on a schedule. You can republish a view in intervals as short as one minute and up to 12 months. For example, you can set up your view to republish at 12:00 am each day.

Note: Continuous views run in the local time where the PI Integrator Framework service is running. Therefore, users who are in a different time zone must take this into account when scheduling their runs.

Each time the view is published, new data is appended to the existing data. Therefore, the target table or file keeps growing each time the view is published on schedule. When publishing views on a schedule, there is currently no option to overwrite the data. Therefore, you must manually delete data in the publish target table or file that you no longer need.

You specify the time range for the period you want updated. If there is concern about consuming too many resources, you can specify shorter time intervals and update the data by publishing multiple times.

You specify that you want your view published on a schedule on the Publish page. For more information, see Publish a view on a schedule.

On the My Views page, continuously published views have a Run Mode of Continuous.

The PI Integrator supports automatic updates of published PI System data for selected targets. For more information about this feature, see How published data gets updated.
