AVEVA PI Vision OMI App requirements

Preparing the PI Vision OMI App to run in an OMI ViewApp includes several preliminary steps that must be completed by both PI Vision designers and ViewApp builders. The primary focus of this User Guide is to describe the work done by the ViewApp builder to integrate the PI Vision OMI App into System Platform.

Compatible PI System versions

The AVEVA PI Vision OMI App is compatible with the following OSIsoft PI System products:

• AF SDK: version 2.10. The AF SDK is used by ad hoc displays within the OMI app for search and retrieval of data items when in context mode.

• PI Coresight: version 3.0 and later. PI Coresight 3.0 was originally named PI Coresight 2016, and was renamed PI Vision 2017 at the time of the version 3.2 release.

AVEVA PI Vision OMI App requirements

Before you configure the AVEVA PI Vision OMI App, you must:

• Be familiar with the PI Vision system.

• Have an operational PI Vision application server.

• Have Asset Framework (AF) server(s), data archive server(s), and any other required PI System components running and configured. All databases and other components of the PI System must be installed and configured with the appropriate user access permissions as needed for the displays you want to create and use at run time.

• Have a hierarchy of assets that exists with the same name as it appears in the OMI Navigation Model hierarchy.

• OSIsoft PI System products, including the Asset Framework server and PI Vision server, must be in the same domain as the AVEVA OMI client workstation. Make sure that users of the OMI client workstations, including the logged-in Windows user and the user logged-in to the OMI ViewApp, have user permissions to access the PI System products.

• OMI client workstations must have the PI System AF client installed, and have the appropriate databases and servers configured. This is required for contextualization to work within the PI Vision OMI App.

• Have an SSL digital certificate from your PI Vision server node installed on OMI client workstations that will run the PI Vision OMI App. See SSL certificate for runtime nodes for details.

• Have enough experience with System Platform to be able to create screen profiles, layouts, and ViewApps.

  Note: A Flex license is required to download the PI Vision OMI App from the AVEVA System Platform product website.

Make sure that the asset hierarchy and asset names match between the hierarchies by renaming assets and reconfiguring hierarchies as needed. Synchronization between the two will allow the PI Vision app to work in the context of the currently selected asset in the OMI ViewApp during run time.

Note that the PI Vision OMI App does not automatically synchronize the System Platform hierarchy with the Asset Framework server hierarchy of the PI System. This synchronization work is outside the scope of this user guide.
