Configure n-way buffering for PI SDK clients

To buffer data from PI clients that send data using PI SDK, use PI SDK Utility to enable PI SDK buffering.

First install PI SDK 1.4.4 or later. These instructions assume that you have already configured one or more Data Archive computers to receive buffered data from this computer. If not, start PI SDK Utility and click Buffering > Buffering Manager to configure buffering, then follow these instructions.

1. On the computer sending the data to be buffered, run PI SDK Utility.

2. Click Buffering > PI SDK Buffering Configuration.

3. Select the Enable PI SDK Buffering check box.

4. Click Save.

   A message in the status bar shows the current buffering status.

5. Restart the PI client applications to ensure that their data is buffered.

   All PI SDK data from this computer is sent to all Data Archive computers that have been configured to receive data from PI Buffer Subsystem. To add servers, use Buffering Manager.
