- About this courseAbout this courseDeveloper Technologies are designed to support the development of customapplications on top of the PI System, as well as the integration of PI System datawith other applications and business systems. This course is designed for softwaredevelopers new to the PI System who desire programmatic access to it. You willbe introduced to various Developer Technologies that you can leverage in yourcustom application to interact with the PI System. At the end of the lab, you willwalk away with knowledge of their basic capabilities and also know where to go ifyou want to dive deeper into them.We hope you enjoy the module and please don’t hesitate to get in touch with anycomments or feedback.By the end of this course you’ll Be able to make better decisions regarding the development of yourcustom application Have become familiar with the different PI Developer technologies (AF SDK,PI Web API, PI SQL Framework) Be able to describe the purpose of a PSA license and Application ID Have learnt more about PI Integrators, OSIsoft Cloud Services (OCS) and theEdge Data Store (EDS) Be aware of available resources and how to access themAudienceThis course is designed for developers, systems integrators and systems architectswho are looking for an introduction on everything they need to develop solutionson the PI System.Level: IntroductoryStudy time: 2 hoursThis Course Includes.

- Lesson 1: Introduction to PI Developer TechnologiesLearning outcomesAfter completing this lesson, you will: Be more familiar with the types of PI Developer Technologies andunderstand the features and limitations of each. Be more knowledgeable on topics such as the PI System Access (PSA)license and the OSIsoft message format.IntroductionPI Developer Technologies are designed to support the development of customapplications on top of the PI System, as well as the integration of PI System datawith other applications and business systems such as Microsoft Office or SQLServer, Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERPs), reporting and analyticsplatforms, web portals, or geospatial and maintenance systems among otherthings.They cover a wide range of use cases in various environments, programminglanguages, operating systems, and infrastructures. This course covers anintroduction to the different technologies in the family, including: AF SDK provides comprehensive, high performance, Windows based .NETprogrammatic access to the PI System. Other technologies in the family mightuse AF SDK calls internally. PI SQL Framework family of products exposes the data on a PI Server as if it wereon a relational database. Here, we will be focusing on PI SQL client and RTQP. PI Web API exposes a REST API, enabling operating system and deviceindependent programmatic access to the PI System.Quick comparison of Dev. TechnologiesIn this section we provide a quick comparison of the advantages and limitations ofeach of the Development Technologies. AF SDKo Has the best performance of all PI Development Technologies.o More methods and options available than any other Technology.7 2020 OSIsoft, LLC. All rights reserved
o Limited to Windows operating systems. PI SQL Frameworko Is compatible with other systems that use Structured Query Language(SQL).o Has limited methods and options available compared with AF SDK (forexample, setting security on assets and creating units of measure).o Is limited to read-only PI AF access (but can create and write to tags onyour PI System).

However, this doesnot mean that the PI Developer Technologies are license-free. You need a PI SystemAccess (PSA) license to deploy your applications. You might think of this as a runtime license. The PSA runtime license enables end users to access PI System data,including time series data in Data Archives and asset metadata in AF Servers, usingany of the PI Developer Technologies.Therefore, PSA is a license required when deploying a non-OSIsoft softwareprogram, application, or device that programmatically accesses data stored in thePI Server or supporting servers. Programmatic access of PI System data is possiblethrough our Developer Technologies. Deprecated Developer Technologies mayrequire additional licensing. What are the terms of a PI System Access license? Please refer to the Usage andService Terms Content Product Licensing Product Usage Terms documentfor the most up-to-date terms of the PSA license. Who should I contact regarding the PI System Access license? If you havequestions regarding licensing, contact your Customer Success Manager orAccount Manager.For the latest information on the PI System Access license review this article on themyOSIsoft customer portal.List of deprecated PI Developer TechnologiesPI SDK - The PI Software Development Kit (PI SDK) is a programming tool based onMicrosoft's Component Object Model (COM) used to access PI Servers. DataAccess Pack or PI System Access licenses are required to deploy custom PI SDKapplications.PI API - The PI API Provides a common programmer interface to PI Data Archiveinformation, designed to span multiple hardware and software environments.9 2020 OSIsoft, LLC.

Data Access Pack or PI System Access licenses are required to deploy custom PIAPI applications.PI Web Services - PI Web Services is a set of Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)services that exposes time series data in the PI System. This product isimplemented using Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). PISystem Access licenses are required to deploy custom PI Web Servicesapplications.For a complete list, please visit the Developer Technologies website.OSIsoft Messaging FormatPI Interfaces and PI Connectors can be used to access and read data from manytypes of equipment and control systems. But what happens when you have a datasource for which no interface or connector exists? One solution is to write anapplication that uses OMF to send the data to the PI System.OMF enables you to send data into your PI System from sources that you wouldnot otherwise be able to send data from. Those sources could include differentplatforms, different operating systems, and different devices - from server classdevices to headless devices running embedded operating systems. OMF allowsyou to connect the pieces so that you have your data available, no matter whereit originated.The OSIsoft Message Format (OMF) defines a set of message headers and bodiesthat can be used to generate messages for ingestion into a compliant back-endsystem. OMF can be used to develop data acquisition applications on platformsand in languages for which there are no supported OSIsoft libraries.OMF itself does not define or depend on any particular binary message protocol(HTTP, AMQP, Kafka, etc.) It is instead based on an abstract message type, wherea message consists of a set of key / value pairs, called the headers, and a binarypayload, called the body. OMF messages can thus be constructed using anymessage protocol that defines headers and bodies.OMF messages fall into three categories: Type Container10 2020 OSIsoft, LLC. All rights reserved
DataWithin each category, three types of actions can be specified: Create, Update, andDelete.Each message bulks individual JSON objects into a JSON array. Within a givenarray, all objects must be of the same message type: Type, Container, or Data.To achieve optimal throughput, bulking and compression of messages isrecommended.For more information: Live Library documentation – link OMF Docs - linkLearn More PI Developers club - linko an online offering that provides resources for developing applications andsolutions on the PI System. PI DevClub can be considered the next versionof OSIsoft Virtual Campus and offers members-only and public features.PI DevClub is the gateway to get support, latest updates, and access tothe developers’ community.o The member benefits of the club are listed in this FAQ.
