Create a new PI totalizer

Procedure

1. In the Collectives and Servers pane, select the server or collective.

2. In the System Management Tools pane, select Points > Totalizers.

3. Select the Name & Type tab.

4. Click the New Totalizer button .

   This clears the currently-displayed totalizer, if any, from the editor.

5. On the Name and Type tab, select a Data Archive server from the PI Servers menu.

6. Type a unique name in the Name field.

   • If you type in the name of an existing PI totalizer on the Data Archive server, then the Totalizer tool loads the configuration of the existing point. You are then editing that totalizer, rather than creating a new one.

   • If a point with the name you entered already exists on the Data Archive server but the point is not a PI Totalizer, then the Save button is not enabled.

7. To complete the SourceTag field, click the Tag Search button and choose the source tag from the search results. For additional configuration information, see PI Totalizer configuration.

8. Use each tab in the Editor pane to define the appropriate sampling, reporting, and optional configurations for the new PI Totalizer.

9. Click Save.

   The new PI totalizer is created on the Data Archive server.

   Note: To use an existing PI totalizer as a template for a new one, search for PI totalizers, select one from the Search Results list, and type the name for the new PI totalizer in the Name field of the Name & Type tab. You can also select a different server after selecting an existing PI totalizer and create the same PI totalizer on that server.
