Register archives in bulk

To register archives, use the piartool -ar command. The syntax is:

piartool -ar path

The specified path must be the absolute path of an existing archive file.

For example, to register a single archive called piarch.006 in the PI\dat directory on the D drive:

piartool -ar D:\PI\dat\piarch.006

You can use the wildcard characters * and ?. The symbol * matches all possibilities with any number of characters. The symbol ? matches a single character and may be used any number of times.

For example, to register all archive files in the PI\dat directory that begin with the piarch.0 prefix:

piartool -ar D:\PI\dat\piarch.0*

Note: When working with wildcards, wildcards will try and register all archives including the ones that have been manually registered. This will not cause any issues.
