View interface information

Interfaces that are configured to run as a service can be started and stopped from the Interface list, provided your security settings allow you to start or stop the service on the machine the interface is running on.

You can also rename the interface service, change its startup type, or export a list of the interface services to a comma-separated value (CSV) file.

Note: Interfaces can only be displayed for Windows-based Data Archive servers.

Interfaces are listed in a window with columns that display the following information:

• Interface name

• Optional User Set Name configured in ICU

• Host PI Server

• Interface Node computer that runs the interface

• Point Source used by the interface

• ID number assigned to points belonging to the interface

• Interface Type

• Current Status of the interface service (Running, Stopped, Not a service, Unknown, Not checked )

• Startup Type used for the interface (Auto, Manual, Disabled)

• Service Display Name, if the interface is installed as a service

• Interface Version

• APS Connector, if Auto Point Synchronization is used

• APS Node that runs PI APS for synchronization

• Description of the interface entered in ICU

You can click individual column headings to sort the list view.
