Cannot edit PI MDB

If you cannot edit PI MDB, then you probably have one of the following problems:

  • The PI AF server is unavailable. Check your connection to the PI AF server. If AF Link cannot connect to the PI AF server, then PI MDB becomes read-only until the connection is restored.

  • AF Link is not running. If AF Link is not running, MDB is read-only. Check the PI Services tool in SMT (Operation > PI Services).

  • You are trying to make an edit that is no longer permitted in PI MDB (Learn about edits that are not allowed in PI MDB).

  • If you are trying to edit access permissions, then the PI MDB security might be out of sync with PI AF security. View the security synchronization report to identify the problem.

  • There could be a synchronization error. Check the synchronization status in the AF Link tool in SMT (Operation > AF Link).

  • MDB is not enabled. You can enable MDB by running the MDB to AF preparation wizard from the AF Link tool in SMT (Enable PI MDB).
