PI Batch Subsystem interfaces

For legacy PI Batch Subsystem data to be migrated, PI Batch Subsystem units must be mapped to the Module Database.

The pre-migration analysis that you run from the AF Link tool in PI-SMT checks for PI Batch Subsystem units (the PI Batch Subsystem must be running during the analysis). If the analysis shows:

• Units that are mapped to the Module Database, those batches will be migrated.

• Units that are not mapped to the Module Database, if you want this data migrated to event frames, you must map these units to the Module Database.

To map PI Batch Subsystem units to the Module Database, follow the instructions in the Batch Database Support of the PI Batch Subsystem, available on the AVEVA Customer Portal Products page.

For each PI Batch Subsystem unit, only Batch Subsystem batches before the cutoff date will be migrated to event frames. Therefore, if there is no cutoff date, or if the cutoff date is set to Current, all Batch Subsystem batches for that unit will be migrated to event frames.

After migration, the PI Batch Subsystem no longer generates batch data. Therefore, you must install a new interface to generate event frame data.

Note: To migrate to event frames, you do not have to move your PI Batch Subsystem data to the Batch Database, but you must create mappings in the Module Database for any PI Batch Subsystem unit that you want to migrate.
