Parameter

Description

/c1

Optional

Location1 point attribute override.

Load all points configured for the specified point source regardless of Location1 and interface ID values.

/c2=#

Optional

Location2 point attribute override.

Ignore Location2 for each point and use the specified value. Valid values are 0-7.

/c3=#

Optional

Location3 point attribute override.

Ignore Location3 for each point and use the specified value. Valid values are 0-31.

/c4=#

Optional

Location4 point attribute override.

Ignore Location4 for each point and use the specified value. Valid values are:

  • 1—Sign up for exceptions (exception data collection)

  • 2—Get history only (archive data collection)

/c5=#

Optional

Location5 point attribute override.

Ignore Location5 for each point and use the specified value. Valid values are 0-5.

/ptid

Optional

Point ID of source PI point is specified in UserInt1 attribute. Ignore InstrumentTag, ExDesc, and Tag (PI point name) attributes.

Note: This switch is not compatible with source Data Archive failover because point IDs will not necessarily match between source Data Archives. If the source Data Archives are part of a PI collective use /tn instead.

/tn

Optional

Source point name is same as interface point name. Ignore InstrumentTag, ExDesc and UserInt1 attributes.

/tnex

Optional

Source point name is located in the ExDesc or Tag attribute and the InstrumentTag and UserInt1 attributes are ignored for identifying source point.
