Piartool and multiple collectives

Hello Emmanuel Desiderio​ ,

as far as I am aware piartool does not register / unregister archives on Collectives. You need to run piartool on the PI Data Archive host which you want to modify the archive registration on.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Currently, I am running PI SMT on a QA PI server. I am quite new to PI so I still do not fully understand how all of this works.

In PI SMT, it seems that I can select/deselect one or multiple Data archive servers at a time on the left side of the screen, and the displayed archives changes depending on the selected server.

I initially thought that piartool will work depending on what I have currently selected on the PI SMT.

In the documentation, I read something about Remote operation of PI Data Archive Utilities, but I don't fully understand it yet.

I am looking to make a scheduled batch file to unregister archives and copy them to another drive and then register them.. We have one primary Production Data archive server and multiple secondary Data Archive Servers. Is this batch file possible to be run from one location? Or do we have to login to each server and set an individual batch file for each Data Archive server?
