Trying to export Seeq live data to PI Systems

[BrandonM222]

Hi there,

As the title suggests I am trying to export a signal from Seeq to PI. I know theres a documentation online but it isnt straight forward. It's saying theres a document on there that I need to edit to enable export but I can't find where that is. Anyways if someone has a more step by step guide or can walk me through it that would be great. 

 

Thank you

Hello Brandon,

Let me know if this documentation helps: https://support.seeq.com/kb/latest/cloud/exporting-signals-and-conditions-to-a-historian. If you face more problems, just open a support ticket here: https://seeq.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/3

Hey there,

Thank you for the documentation. This is the one I was looking at earlier. The issue here is I don't understand this part here. Not sure where that is in Seeq:

 

nabling Export
Exporting is performed by the datasource’s connector in the context of a particular connection. This is referred to as the datasource export subsystem.

For example, exporting to OSIsoft PI is controlled in the OSIsoft PI Connector.json configuration file and there are separate controls for each connection within the Export section:

CODE
      "Export": {
        "Enabled": false,
        "AutoCreate": false,
        "AutoUpdate": false,
        "RequireApproval": true,
        "DirectiveRefreshFrequency": "15m",
        "MinimumLatency": "15m",
        "NewOrChanged": []
      }
Copy
First, change Enabled to true to turn on the datasource export subsystem for this connection. This will not have any immediate effect, as you will need to configure other values as described below.

Not sure where that is exactly.

Hello Brandon, 

you can find this in the configuration of the datasources inside the Administration panel of Seeq:

You need to be an admin in Seeq to access the page.

Thanks @Thorsten Vogt! @BrandonM222, you need to be admin to do this. If you are not, contact your Seeq admin.

Thank you Thorsten for that information. That was indeed it. However, I am now running into another issue. It shows Success in the Export - Status. But no value is being sent to the PI Systems and I notice the Export - Message says No Samples written in last cycle. Am I missing something? I followed the rest of the instructions exactly as written in the documentation.
