OSIsoft connection issue

Hello,

I Copy/paste customer question below:

When trying to connect via: File > Database > Import from OSIsoft PI server I end up here:
but we always get this error in the end:

The questions would be, Is the format of the URL wrong? ( e.g. do we need a trailing / ? ).

 

Any thoughts ?

Hi Bryan,

He just gave a try:

..  However, if I try the link in a browser, I do obtain such an interface (screenshot below).
A difference in the screenshots is in the presence of “Omf” in yours – could this be part of the problem?

 

Re: OSIsoft connection issue

I think the server isn't configured correctly.

That error means that JMP expects a response from the Root URL that specifies any of the following:

• System
• Self
• AssetServers
• DataServers
• Omf
• Search

In other words, if you put the root URL in a browser, the response should looks something like this:

 

Re: OSIsoft connection issue

Yes, OMF is required, too.

Let me edit my original response.

Hello Bryan,

 

first I want to thank you for the help.

Any requirement in term of OSISoft version ?

For info – snapshot from current JSR Micro NV WebAPI version 

 

 

Re: OSIsoft connection issue

Looks like the Rest interface came online around 2014.
https://docs.aveva.com/en-US/bundle/pi-web-api-reference/page/help/changelog/pi-web-api.html

There's no real requirement on the OSIPi version since the integration is REST based.

They might want to contact OSIPi/Avena or administrator for the OMF information. It might need to be installed and/or enabled.

It does need to be there.

Hello Bryan,

we met the customer last week and with the OMF it works now. Thank you for the great help.

You bet

Re: OSIsoft connection issue

Had a customer ask why OMF is required for a data pull?  They said most of their PI data does have OMF, but some does not.
