Piartool - Sys - Standalone Off: Informational Messages

When editing an attribute set, all attributes must be fully specified, otherwise default values will be assigned. If an attribute type is changed but the name is not specified, the default will be set to 0.0, overwriting the original. Informational messages about the edit are sent to the PI Message Subsystem, not the application initiating the edit. Attribute sets can be renamed through editing unless they are predefined, and renaming does not require stand-alone mode or trigger implicit edits.

When you edit an attribute set, you must completely specify all the attributes, exactly as on creati

If an attribute set is edited and its pre-existing attribute name (but not the type and default) is
specified, float32 and value 0.0 is assigned, overwriting the original type and default. If the user
specifies only the type, a new default is assigned even if the type is identical to the previous one.
The default of MyAttrib3 attribute was changed to 0.0 from the original 5.0 because it was not
explicitly specified in the edit.
When you are finished with the edit, place the system back in normal mode so that applications ca
connect.
piartool -sys -standalone off
Renaming an attribute set does not trigger any implicit edits of point classes or points and does no
require stand-alone mode.
See Required Access Permissions and Other Restrictions (page 55) for attribute set edit restriction

Informational Messages
Some messages are not directly returned to the application that initiates the edit, such as
but are instead sent to the PI Message Subsystem. Examples of these messages are information
regarding the status (success or failure) of the edit steps (rename the old set, add a new set,
implicitly edit dependent point classes and points, and remove the old set) and the number of
dependent point classes found. These messages are useful in verifying that the steps correctly
followed during the edit.

Attribute Set Rename


An attribute set may be renamed via edit unless it is one of the predefined attribute sets. This
rename does not require stand-alone mode.

Example: Renaming an Attribute Set


In piconfig:
@table piatrset
@mode edit
@istru set,newset
MyAttribSet,MyNewAttribSet
@ends
