(Missing Content) , but once i had created the pi points , i can use another tool to change the Point ID?I'm having a problem where I have an archive with points data from another server and I'm creating these points in the builder, but when I create them they come with different Point IDs, so they won't recognize the points from the other server with the ones I created. I've heard of using piarchss. Would that be a viable option?
Hi catharinafontes ,
No you cannot customize Point ID. PointID is automatically assigned by Data Archive Server.
Hello catharinafontes ,
You cannot define the PointID nor can you change the PointID of an existing PI Point.
It is however possible to restore a PI Backup from a "foreign" server to e.g. have 2 PI Systems with the same Point table.
Other than this, you can use a conversion table which translates PointID's or Point Names on Server A to their correspondents on Server B.
Can you elaborate a bit more what you like to accomplish?
hi Gregor.Beck i have DA file from another server ( is aforeign sever i dont have acess to anything more), then i created the same point in my server, but since pi creates a specify point ID , i have different point id to from the DA file.This is a problem because DA maps its values to pi tags through Point ID, so i need a way to change Point IDs after creating them or do i have a another option?
Please describe more closely what you want to accomplish as there can be unforeseen options available. Do you have a dev and production server and trying to share Vision displays? Or do you have DataLinks give you different values?
hi (Missing Content) (Employee) i have DA files from another server that has data for some pi points. In my server i had created the point with the name name , but since pi creates a specify point ID , i have different point id to from the DA file.This is a problem because DA maps its values to pi tags through Point ID, so i need a way to change Point IDs after creating them or do i have a another option?
or i need to do a backup from the old server and run into my server?
