Add the new points to the existing archive. Use PI Builder to batch load points or use the PI SMT Point Builder tool to create individual points.
-
If the points correspond to active interfaces, make sure that current data is not being sent to the point from the interface.
-
Use the PI SMT PI Archive Manager tool or the piartool -al command to check your existing archive files. Note the start time, end time, and filename (including the path) of all archives within the time range of the backfill data.
-
Back up your Data Archive server including all archives that you plan to backfill.
-
Data is compressed by default. If you do not want compression, enable the Snapshot_DoNotReplacePTCreatedOnOOO tuning parameter.
-
Backfill the data.
Note: For more information on backfilling data, see Backfill data with a piconfig script.
