PI Properties

PI Properties are hierarchical. Properties can have properties, which can have properties, and so on. Since properties do not have unique identifiers, a rename is indistinguishable from a deletion followed by an addition.

Adding a PI Property is shown as an edit to the module by showing the parent property to which the property was added. All modules have an implicit root property called \\PIProperties.

The following are details of adding a root property with a value of 106.

PIProperty Name="Prop-106" ParentUNC_Name="\\PIProperties"
Value=106

Here are details of adding a sub-property to the above property.

PIProperty Name="Sub-Prop" ParentUNC_Name="\\PIProperties\Prop-106"
Value=99

These examples focus only on the attribute that changed. The audit record contains information that completely identifies the modified module. Also, renaming a property is shown as a deletion followed by an addition in a single audit record.
