You can now specify the Data Archive, also referred to as the default data server, for the PI system and PI AF database. By default, PI AF databases inherit the PI AF server's local default data server.

Note: The %Server% parameter defines the default Data Archive. It first resolves to the current PI AF database's default Data Archive if one is specified; otherwise, it resolves to the PI AF server's default Data Archive. If one is not specified there, it resolves to the local default Data Archive. If the default Data Archive is not specified on the PI AF server or PI AF database, it can resolve to a different Data Archive configured for each one depending on the different client machines' settings.
