Create a new PIBatch

In the Module Database tree, select the icon of the server for which you want to create a new PIBatch.

Click New PIBatch .

In the New PIBatch window, enter the basic properties of a PIBatch.

• Start Time is the only required field. All other fields can be left blank.

• If End Time is blank, the PIBatch will be set to a "still running" state; a PIBatch is considered to still be running if it has no end time.

• Server pre-populates with the name of the server selected or the server of any selected PI module or PI unit in the Module Database tree, that is, the server for which the PIBatch is to be created.

• Unique ID shows <Undefined Unique ID> because the Unique ID of a PIBatch is assigned at the time the PIBatch is created (when you click OK).

Click OK.

Note: A PIBatch may have a reference to one or more PIUnitBatches. A PIBatch may also have one or more hierarchical PI properties. You can assign both of these properties after the PIBatch is created. For details, see Link or unlink a PIUnitBatch to a PIBatch and PIBatch details.
