    Hello everyone,

    I’m new to OSI PI (Oracle/Aspen background) and looking for a quicker way to rename about 2,000 tags (Phase 1) without manually editing them in the Excel PI Builder add-in.

    Background:

    • We’re moving to a new DCS and standardising tag names.
    • Goal is to rename existing tags, not create or replicate them, while retaining historical data.

    Questions:

    1. AF & PI Vision references – Do they use the tag name or the Point ID/Record number?
    2. Historian bulk rename – Can I do a mass update via scripts/mapping table to rename tags and update exDesc and point source fields?
    3. PI Adapter mappings – Must these be manually updated, or can they be reverse-engineered from exDesc?
    4. SQL backend – Since AF and PI Vision use SQL, can I identify and bulk-update attribute/display sources from a staging table?

    That’s my “lazy” way of doing it — is it possible?
