PI Autopoint Sync

Can anyone explain exactly what the PI Autopoint Sync does in a PI to PI environment?

 

I have a server on my SCADA network, and a server on my corporate network. There are PItoPI interfaces setup to pull the PI data from SCADA to Corporate. I want any new points (Not new data, this is already done with the PItoPI) that show up on the SCADA network to be copied to my corporate network. 

 

I thought this is what AutopointSync was supposed to do, but I can't see how it would. What it looks like is it monitors the points on the PItoPI interface and sync's up the attributes associated with the interface. So if my UOM changed on SCADA it would update to Corporate, or the descriptions. Don't get me wrong, this will also be useful.

 

 

So am I missing something obvious? Any good walkthroughs out there on configuration if I am?

  • It's working now, what I found was there are interface specific settings that must be set. I went in multiple times and made changes and clicked OK, but apparently you also have to click Apply. Once I found that, there's 1 single line in the logs and if you aren't paying attention you'll over look it, the PI points and syncs started happening.
