Release notes

22133

Attribute values referencing other event frames are captured regardless of the order event frames are created.

22140

22209

Interface will no longer have a delay in processing a batch when the local time is greater than GMT.

22211

MONITORTAGWINDOW now defaults to 0, meaning monitor tag counts do not get trimmed to the most recent <MONITORTAGWINDOW> days of activity and roll over at INT_MAX unless MONITORTAGWINDOW is deliberately set.

22216

Interface ID has been added to the message logs in order to uniquely identify log message.

22218

All generated unirecords will have the placeholder [TIMESTAMP] have the format "YYYY-MM-DD" for a SQL source and "YYYY/MM/DD" for non SQL source like EVT files.

22221

Monitor tags now accurately reflect the number of batches and their child events.

22224

PI Event Frames Interface Manager properly creates new default virtual user service without errors.

22246

PI Event Frames Interface Manager does not allow older interfaces to edit health tags.

22249

All batch interfaces remove passwords from INI file regardless of parameter capitalization.

22250

Merging issue causing unit procedure and operation not to close has been fixed.

22260

Batch event frames no longer merge event frames when merging is disabled and unique ids do not match.

The Event log source will be created during the interface install step.

22464

The 'Watch Interface Log' button in PI Event Frames Interface Manager opens Windows Event Viewer.

23177

23299

EMDVB fetches SQL data with greater efficiency EMDVB gathers SQL data for lists of batches rather than querying each batch's data individually, and reuses the same SQL connection for all queries.

24445

Tests have been modified to allow for Daylight Savings on Test machines.

24781

The interface setup kit may use the same GUID for all the interface installs, which can cause trouble when installing multiple batch interfaces on the same machine. PI Event Frames Interface Manager now uses different GUID for each interface.

24847

SQL Native Client is no longer supported, and is now replaced with OLEDB for all supported batch interfaces.

25811

PI data server collectives and PI buffering to multiple PI data servers is now supported.

67298

Event sorting is faster and memory consumption is better managed during event queuing.

67926

Interface will not allow Batch events with a zero start time.

68207

PI Event Frames Interface Manager will now store SCAN values as low as one second without complaint.

68907
