Deleting buffer content of PI connection relay and/or PI OPC UA connector

Hi all,

how can I delete or reset a buffer content, because there is a lot of data in it with PI points

that are already removed in PIDA server.

Thanks.

  • Check for LocalBufferPath attribute in config file 

    %pihome64%\Connectors\OPCUA\OPCUA.ConnectorHost.exe.config

     

    Connector to Relay Buffering Default Path --> ProgramData\OSIsoft\Tau\OPCUA.ConnectorHost\OPCUA\Buffer\amqprelay_#IPaddress\

    Relay to PI System buffering Default Path --> ProgramData\OSIsoft\Tau\Relay.ConnectorHost\PI Connector Relay\Buffer\PI_#DataArchiveName\

     

    Move the buffer folder and files, restart PI System connector. You may lose the data for valid points and above procedure is valid for corrupted buffer in connectors.

  • Thank you for your advice.

    Unfortunately it doesn't fix the problem which now results in "maximum license point count exceeded".

    But that's not true because I removed unwanted PI points in PIDA so that MaxPointCount is below licensed maximum.

    I opened a case at Osisoft.
