Software requirements for the notification feature

If you are connecting to a claims-enabled AVEVA PI Vision server, both PI AF Server 2024 and PI Notifications Service 2024 are required. In addition, TLS certificates and OpenID Connect (OIDC) must also be enabled and configured to implement claims-based authentication.

To use the notifications feature, you must install these PI Server components in the following order:

1. Either PI AF Client 2017 R2 or later or PI AF Client 2023 with OIDC enabled if you want to include screenshots from a claims-enabled AVEVA PI Vision server

2. PI Notifications Service 2017 R2 or later; PI Notifications Service 2024 with OIDC enabled is required to include screenshots from a claims-enabled AVEVA PI Vision server

3. Optional. AVEVA PI Vision.

   • This is required if you want to use the acknowledgment link in the notifications feature, which is a link to the event details page in AVEVA PI Vision.

   • To include screenshots in notifications from an AVEVA PI Vision server that is configured for Windows authentication, NTLM provider for Windows Authentication needs to be enabled in AVEVA PI Vision. For more information, see Understand delivery formats in notification rules. Also see the AVEVA PI Vision user guide topics Enable Kerebos delegation using a custom PI Vision service account and Enable basic authentication.

4. Management plug-in from PI AF Client 2017 R2 or later, which allows for managing analyses and notification rules in bulk.

5. To enable screenshots for the PI Notifications Service, install Microsoft Edge WebView2 RunTime on the machine where PI Notifications Service will be installed. See Install Microsoft Edge WebView2 for screenshots.
