In PI MDB, a module can have one or more associated properties. In PI AF, the properties for each module are represented as attributes on the element. A property has a name and a value. The value has a data type. Properties can be hierarchical, meaning that you can nest one property under another one.
The following table shows how properties in PI MDB are migrated to PI AF.
|
PI MDB property |
PI AF attribute |
|---|---|
|
Name |
The attribute name will be the same as the name of the corresponding property unless that name conflicts with an alias name. In that case, a suffix is added to the attribute name. See Replacement suffix for more information. |
|
Value Type |
The Value Type of the attribute is determined as described in List of property to attribute value type conversion. |
|
Hierarchy |
The property hierarchy, if any, is preserved as the hierarchy of the attributes in PI AF. |
