Examples

Update-PIBufferConfiguration

This example forces the local instance of PI Buffer Subsystem to reload/refresh all buffer configuration data

Examples

Invoke-Command -ComputerName PIINT1 -ScriptBlock { Update-PIBufferConfiguration }

This example forces the PIINT1 instance of PI Buffer Subsystem to reload/refresh all buffer configuration data. Note the use of Invoke-Command. Failure of this example to execute properly is likely not an issue with Update-PIBufferConfiguration, but with the network or PS connection to the remote computer. Note that the OSIsoft.PowerShell module must be installed on the remote computer as well for this to work.
