Decommission multiple points with PI Builder

Open a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel.

Click PI Builder.

Select the appropriate data server, asset server, and database.

Click PI Points > Find PI Points.

Search for and select the points you want to decommission. In the Select Object Types and Column Headers window, be sure that scan and pointsource are selected.

The points display on the spreadsheet.

In the scan column on the spreadsheet, change 1 to 0 for all the points.

Note: Some interfaces use the pointsource bit and not the scan bit to turn off points. To decommission points for such an interface, change the pointsource attribute to a value that you use only for decommissioned points.
