Reset PI MDB

When you reset PI MDB, you recreate the PI MDB from the corresponding Data Archive element in PI AF. This means that you completely overwrite the entire contents of the existing PI MDB (excepting %OSI, %OSI_MCN, & %OSI_ManagedPI) and recreate it based on the current contents of the Data Archive element in PI AF.

Note: A reset is different from a remigration. When you remigrate, you copy from PI MDB to PI AF.

1. In PI SMT, open the AF Link tool (Operation > AF Link).

2. Select and show the details pane for the Data Archive server you want to reset (use to toggle the details pane).

3. Click the Details tab.

4. Click the Reset MDB button at the bottom of the pane.
