 Overview
PI ProcessBook is a graphics package that allows users to create dynamic,
interactive graphics and trends featuring real-time PI data. Data can be viewed from
multiple sources, such as relational databases that expose ODBC compliant
interfaces, or AF 2.x data. Additionally, PI ProcessBook provides tools for analyzing
data on the display and incorporates Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA),
so that special activities or routine chores can be automated.
This version of PI ProcessBook provides the following enhancements:
 Enhanced support for non-English character, locale settings, time zones
and numeric settings has been provided through UNICODE and UTC
time implementations within PI ProcessBook. Users can create a display
using their client settings and have the display be viewable and
updateable by user with different settings, with some limitations.
 Upgraded playback and time manipulation functionality has been added
to support users who troubleshoot problems by replaying events or
changing the time range for an entire display. A toolbar provides the
ability to playback a time period within a display. This feature helps you
analyze conditions in a plant during a specific time frame.
 Bar symbols now have an option to display a numeric scale. Existing
displays will not automatically show scales on bars, but new bar symbols
have this feature enabled by default.
Please read the online help for additional information on these topics.

Enhancements

 Non-English Language Support

Due to the implementation of Unicode support, non-English characters in displays
can be displayed correctly, as long as the necessary fonts are installed on the local
machine. In addition, dates, times and numbers within a display are stored in a
canonical format, so that re-using a display with different date, time and number
formatting settings is easier than in previous versions. Since the PI Asset Framework
server also implements Unicode, configuring displays using AF references will
provide the best experience. The language used for the user interface can be
selected with the Language Selection Tool when the PI ProcessBook MUI kit is
installed.
There are some limitations to the cross-language and -locale support offered in PI
ProcessBook, due in part to limitations elsewhere in the PI System. For example, the
PI Performance Equation syntax used in PI ProcessBook datasets (to retrieve
calculated data from PI) does not support non-English numeric formats. In addition,
configuring a PI Calculation dataset in one language and using the display in another
language may result in difficulties in resolving the tagnames used in the expression
in some cases. Some additional PI ProcessBook limitations include: some non-
English characters may not show up correctly in Book View tabs (Level 1 headings)
because the font cannot be selected for that text; configuring a symbol time range
(e.g., in Trend) using a non-English time interval (e.g., Stunden for Hours in German)
may cause the wrong interval to be used if the display is opened on a computer
using a different language (e.g., French).
The new language and locale features remain backwards compatible for displays
created with earlier versions of PI ProcessBook, but the benefits can only be
experienced with this new version.
 Element Relative Displays
Module Relative Displays (MRD) are replaced by Element Relative Displays (ERD).
Existing MRD displays are automatically converted to ERD displays when a PI
system administrator has migrated the Module database to an AF database (using PI
Server 2010) and the MRD add-in has been uninstalled. New ERD displays can be
created without the need of an existing MRD display. Please see the Help file for
additional information.

OSIsoft Release Notes 5

 Note that zoom areas and trend cursors are reverted/lost when switching between
Elements.
It is recommended that you turn off the recursive search feature of the Filter control
in the Elements of Interest docking window. This is done by un-checking the Include
Children option of the Filter accessible by clicking the down arrow next to the
magnifying glass in the Filter control. This is especially important if your Elements of
Interest have extensive sub-elements.
Also note that the Datasheet Control (version 2.0.1 and earlier) and the PI BatchView
symbols cannot be used with the Element Relative Display add-in (not even if the
Module database has been migrated to the AF database). These two products have
specific handling dependent on the Module database. These two components work
normally in PI ProcessBook 2012 as long as there is no attempt to use the Element
Relative Display configuration. If the Module Relative Display (MRD) add-in is still
required for use with these components, it will be available for download separately,
but linked to the PI ProcessBook setup kit on the download site.

 PI Notifications Add-In
PI ProcessBook includes support for user presence through Office Communications
Server 2007 or Lync Server 2010 and the Unified Communications Client API. This
allows users to communicate and collaborate with other users from within PI
ProcessBook (without having to launch a separate application). A Contacts docking
window is available that not only shows the set of available contacts available
through Office Communicator/Lync but also a list of subscribers to a notification in
escalation order. The Help file has more information on using this functionality.
The Contacts docking window not only allows Instant Messaging (IM) but the ability
to send an image of the active display through e-mail.
Note that Office Communicator 2005/2007 or Lync 2010 must be on the machine for
this functionality to be present. In addition, the Microsoft Outlook XP or later client
must be on the machine for the ability to send e-mail through this add-in.
 Playback and Time Range Toolbar
In addition to the playback feature introduced in version 3.2, this version provides
additional time controls including the ability to reset the display to updating without
losing the new time duration, the ability to scroll time across multiple displays at the
same time, and updated controls for scrolling time and changing the effective
duration of a display‟s time range. Please see the Help file for additional information.
Note that zoom areas and trend cursors are reverted/lost when the new time controls
are used.
 SQC Symbol
The PI SQC symbol is included with PI ProcessBook; a separate license is not
required.
 Symbol Library
The Renewables category has been added to the Symbol Library. In addition, new
images have been added to the Maps and Flags category.

OSIsoft Release Notes 6

 DEP Support
The PI ProcessBook executable is Data Execution Prevention (DEP) compliant. This
enables hardware and operating systems that support DEP to respond to
exploits that attempt to execute instructions from data segments. Windows XP SP2,
Windows Serve 2003 SP1; and, all versions of Windows Vista, Windows Server
2008, Windows 7 and future versions of Windows (are expected to) support DEP.
Hardware support is dependent on provisions in the system's BIOS. For more
information see the Microsoft support article found at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352.

Known Issues
This section lists problems and enhancements that have been deferred until a future
release.
 The Data Sheet Control versions 1.0 and 2.0.0.20 are incompatible with PI
ProcessBook 2012. Version 2.0.1.0 of the Data Sheet Control is compatible
with PI ProcessBook 2012.
 PI ProcessBook does not support MFC-based ActiveX controls created with
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. ActiveX controls created with Visual Studio
2005 should be based on ATL or should override
COleControl::OnSetObjectRects in ctlinplc.cpp with a version based on MFC
version 7.
 The servers dropdown and Unit Name Mask Selection dialog in PI
BatchView will cause Data Execution Protection (DEP) exceptions if DEP is
configured for OptOut and AlwaysOn (See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352)
 To use the IT OverView v1.3 add-in for PI ProcessBook on operating
systems that restrict file operations on folders under “Program Files”
(Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and later) PI
ProcessBook must be run in XP compatibility mode.
 If PI ProcessBook 2012 and PI ActiveView are to be installed on the same
system then PI ActiveView 2012 must be used.
 On systems missing a .NET35 update the .NET40 installation will trigger a
REBOOT request. The presented option to ‘Continue’ should not be selected.
REBOOT the machine and rerun setup to complete the installation.
 Visual Basic 6 add-ins compiled with previous versions of PI ProcessBook
may experience errors when run on recent versions of Microsoft Windows
(Vista, 2008 Server and later) with PI ProcessBook 2012. The typical error is
a display object reference error. The problem is the result of needed changes
to the display object interfaces and can be corrected by either recompiling the
add-in or running PI ProcessBook 2012 in XP compatibility mode.

OSIsoft Release Notes 7

 Note that once a Module Relative Display is upgraded to an Element Relative
Display, the display will not show data for Element Relative dynamic symbols in
versions of PI ProcessBook prior to 3.2.

Punch List Items Description

(PLI) not addressed
14770OSI8 Provide a mechanism for adding a time-stamp to a
display.
16744OSI8 Enhancement request: allow tag description to be
multiple lines in the Trend legend.
16806OSI8 Non-updating trend symbols will not show newly
updated points or value attributes unless the trend
is reverted. Updating trends, an End Time of *, that
have the PB2TraceCompatibility INI setting turned
on will not display new annotations of existing PI
data in the status area of the trend unless the trend
is reverted. This is due to the annotation event for
existing PI data only being available through the
archive event pipe which is not available by default
(PB2TraceCompatibility=1) . Setting the
PB2TraceCompatibility to off (0) enables the
archive event pipe and the trend will display the
new annotation.
17783OSI8 The details window only exports data to the
clipboard in time order.
17785OSI8 The Details add-in may stop scrolling if too many
19072OSI8 rows or sort order is changed.
19663OSI8
18598OSI8 Displays with Button symbols created in PI
ProcessBook version 3.0.x and subsequently
saved using this newer version can no longer be
used with 3.0.x.
18997OSI8 Enhancement request: on Trends with the show
multiple scales options selected - highlighting the
trace should also highlight the scale.
19072OSI8 Enhancement request: When a Trend is selected
21852OSI8 for use with the Details add-in - the selected Data
item should be highlighted in the Trend.
19090OSI8 Linear Regression information should be displayed
by the Details add-in and available via automation.
19177OSI8 The List Box ActiveX control will not print properly
when contained in a PI ProcessBook display.
19487OSI8 PI ProcessBook request exclusive access to
display on a network share - this can cause access
problems when users running in view-only mode
attempts to open them.
19668OSI8 The literals: TagZero and TagSpan, as used by the
Bar symbol, are not preserved when a display is
saved as SVG.

OSIsoft Release Notes 8

 Punch List Items Description
(PLI) not addressed
19930OSI8 When a PI ProcessBook Trend is embedded in
another OLE application, the trend may not get
updates if PI ProcessBook is minimized.
20053OSI8 Use of the display's resize cursor while showing an
unpinned docking window can cause a crash.
20415OSI8 Enhancement request: provide an option to use an
Arc symbol's LINE as the Multi-State object.
20591OSI8 Displays with Connectors to ToolBox or grouped
symbols will get an erroneous error when saved as
SVG.
20605OSI8 A valid SQC filter equation will fail syntax validation
when the Recorded Values call yields a raw data
point count greater than the ArcMaxCollect
parameter for any PI Tag in the filter equation.
20682OSI8 Maximizing very small SQC symbols may truncate
some fields.
20709OSI8 PI ProcessBook ad hoc trends should use the
default time zone selection specified in
Preferences.
20734OSI8 Errors relating to ".NET Runtime 2.0 Error" that
occur when PI ProcessBook initializes may be the
result of a corrupted PBToolBarConfig.ini (found in
the users 'application data' folder) - rename the file
and restart PI ProcessBook.
20737OSI8 With the PI ProcessBook Trend - if the start-time is
fixed and the end-time is dynamic then the vertical
time grid-lines will begin to compress around the
start-time.
21115OSI8 Cannot properly resize an object with scripting
because ViewWidth and ViewHeight are fired after
the Resize event has fired
21212OSI8 PI ProcessBook may present an error while editing
a ProcessBook Entry in Outline mode - any text
entries should be completed by using the ENTER
key, not the Tab key.
21224OSI8 Use of the polyline symbol to draw a straight line
can cause problems when grouped with other
polylines.
21346OSI8 Undoing changes to a maximized trend locks the
PI ProcessBook display.
21354OSI8 Enhancement request: provide mechanism for the
migration of AF servers from Server A (Test) to
Server B (Production) for PI ProcessBook displays.
21412OSI8 SQC Alarm Not Generated When PV goes above
the UCL.
21836OSI8 Use of the "Item Definition" icon to remove a trace
will break the Data Source connection with Details
add-in.

OSIsoft Release Notes 9

 Punch List Items Description
(PLI) not addressed
21946OSI8 When a display is opened, PI ProcessBook
attempts to sign up for updates from all the PI Tags
in the display. If the user does not have rights to all
the Tags, the sign up fails and requests for new
data fail for the entire list of Tags.
21978OSI8 SQC chart tag using an ODBC dataset does not
always display start and end times correctly.
22131OSI8 The "y = mx + b" regression line variables should
be shown by trend cursors. This information is also
missing from the XYPlot regression line tooltip.
22515OSI8 The trend's SetTagName & SetTimeRange
24846OSI8 methods should not reset the scale settings.
22613OSI8 Changes to a Trend's plot title are not updated until
the display is saved and reopened.
22692OSI8 The symbol selected rectangle may change color
(should be red if background is not red) if display
colors are changed.
22759OSI8 PI ProcessBook Playback Period Start and End
time does not support PI relative time formats.
22773OSI8 The "Last Saved By" PI Property is not properly
updated when saving a display.
22817OSI8 Displays with larger amounts of VBA code can
become corrupted (references to the display object
will fail) after it has been edited many times. The
remedy is to copy the display's symbols and VBA
code to a new display.
22818OSI8 The font size of Microsoft Forms controls may vary
between Build and Run mode.
22865OSI8 The Details add-in statistics option's count field
should show the number of events not the number
of seconds, but PI ProcessBook does not support
event-weighted aggregations.
22884OSI8 The selection of heavy lines in the PI ProcessBook
trend may result in the trace not being drawn,
depending on the scale factor being used.
23043OSI8 The Define Trend dialog cannot be used to change
a Dataset‟s server.
23136OSI8 Implement the STEPPED option with AF2
Datasets.
23180OSI8 The PI ProcessBook trend, showing multiple
scales, should hide redundant scale values when
zoomed and the differences between the scales‟
values are less than the precision settings of the
format string.
23181OSI8 When the tag value equals the max scale value
(over the time range of the trend) the color blind
markers disappear from the trace.

 Punch List Items Description
(PLI) not addressed
23206OSI8 Plot values for a trend that are much larger then
the manually assigned max value (by a magnitude
of 4) can cause a significant processing load.
23273OSI8 Enhancement request: provide a way for users to
specify the algorithm for the shortening of long
elements names when displayed and when used in
sorting.
23395OSI8 Multistate customization (number of states and
22665OSI8 colors) will be lost when Module Relative Displays
(MRD) are converted to Element Relative Displays
(ERD). They can also be lost when doing a
copy/paste of the symbol. This is because the
multi-state considers that a new data item has
been configured and resets itself.
23495OSI8 AF Error messages can overlay/hide adjacent
symbols.
23516OSI8 The display_activate event is not being fired when
focus is returned to PI ProcessBook from another
application.
24155OSI8 Enhancement request: Support the special case in
21412OSI8 the SQC symbol when UCL=CL and/or LCL=CL,
the data points should be evaluated as "out-of-
control" to match the server behavior.
24312OSI8 The context menu is not displaying icons.
24788OSI8 In the Details add-in the row height should be
adjusted when the font size changes.
24877OSI8 In Element Relative displays - changing to a new
context does not clear the value of attributes that
do not exist in that context - expect that No Data
should be shown, instead the last value remains.

Internal Description
Issues
(SCR #)
23907 In Windows XP or Vista, using any Desktop Theme other than
Windows Classic, the first tab of the VBA color palette does not
render correctly. It appears blank, yet still selects a color if clicked on.
The second tab (System Colors) works fine. The VBA color palette
appears both in the VBA editor when changing the colors of forms
and controls as well as in PI ProcessBook when changing colors of
ActiveX control symbols in the Properties dialog.

In order to clearly see these dialogs, you need to disable support for
Desktop Themes by setting the EnableXPThemes key to 0 in the
[Startup] section of the ProcessBook.INI file.

OSIsoft Release Notes 11

 Internal Description
Issues
(SCR #)
24406 Trace rendering issues have been seen in which the plot markers do
not appear on the trace and a segment of the trace polyline appears
in the wrong location. The problem occurs if the segment is
represented by a data point whose start time occurs far before the
start time of the trend. The ratio of trend duration to the distance from
the previous data point is less than approximately 0.0000013 (or less
than a ratio of 30 seconds to 9 months). For example, the data is:
1/1/2007, value 10 and 10/1/2007 0:01 value 20 and the trend is
defined from 10/1/2007 0:00:45 to 10/1/2007 0:01:15. In this case, the
data values are 9 months apart and a trend is 30 seconds in duration
centering on the second data point. In this case, the trace may not
appear on the markers. The markers are located where the trace
should be.
24783 There are occasions when a Trend's trace remains highlighted, for
example, when quickly moving the mouse off of a trend. Just move
the mouse back onto the trend to reset the highlight.
25417 Enhancement request: provide statistical tooltips for grouped
symbols.
25819 The PI Properties tab, an extension to the Window's File Properties,
will incorrectly count the number of scripts in a PIW and counts may
be blank until the file is resaved. On 64 bit Operating systems
Windows Explorer does not show the PI Properties tab.
25894 The Details add-in does not support dataset names that look like tag
names, e.g. \\server\tagname.
25967 When right clicking a PI ProcessBook file and selecting Open With -
two PI ProcessBook selections are shown - "PI ProcessBook File
Starter" is the proper selection.
25971 Tooltip shown on Trends and XY Plots at the intersection point of
many different tags can create very large tooltips that may not fit
optimally on the screen. Under certain circumstances, this can cause
the tip to repeatedly flash on and off. A workaround is to reconfigure
tooltip statistics or completely disable Tooltip Statistics.
26242 If PI ProcessBook is uninstalled on a system with PI ActiveView, the
PI ActiveView installation should be repaired to ensure proper
functionality. The repair needs to be done to support non-
administrative users.
26266 On the aggregate Shewhart charts in the SQC symbol, the trend
cursor does not match the value in the raw data grid because many
raw points are used to calculate the plotted point values. In the plot
data grid, the cursor does not work at all.
26315 Plot symbols that use traces in different time zones may not show the
proper time-zone based times in the Details window and cursors.
26493 The center line edges are not drawn at step changes for SQC charts
using a center line defined by a PI Tag that is stepped.
26561 If an attribute of an element accesses a server that requires a
password the PI Server must be connected to show data for the
attribute.

26617 Files created in PI ProcessBook 2.11 that are upgraded to 3.0.15.9
that contain standalone file links (<path to
display>\DISPLAY:DISPLAY.PDI) or embedded display links (<path
to procbook>\PROCBOOK:DISPLAY) do not work correctly in PI
ProcessBook 2012. The following VBA code can be used to fix the
links:
Dim oButton as Button
Dim oButtonDefinition as ButtonDefinition

Set oButton = Symbols(?<Button object name>?)

Set oButtonDefinition = oButton.GetDefinition

If oButtonDefinition.Action = ?? Then ? if the action property is blank

oButtonDefinition.Action = ?<path to the target>?
oButton.SetDefinition oButtonDefinition ? set modified definition back
to the button
End If
26618 If a display has dynamic symbols that are using a custom dataset,
and the custom dataset is removed, the dynamic symbols do not
update. The display must be refreshed to show BAD DATA. If the
dataset is reloaded, the display must be reverted to obtain new data.
26619 When tags are renamed on a PI server, datasets using those PI tags
are not able to resolve the renamed tag when the display is opened.
Symbols using these datasets show "No Data". The datasets must be
redefined with the new tag name manually.
26620 PI ProcessBook does not support leading and/or trailing spaces in the
name of the Value column of a PI Expression dataset.
In addition, a server name must be specified when creating a PI
Expression dataset through automation.
26621 Times displayed in the SQC control limits always use the client's time
zone.
26622 The Details add-in does not support showing Y tags with duplicate
data sources for an XY Plot symbol. Only one entry for each unique Y
tag name is shown in the data source drop-down list. However,
selecting Show All from the add-in's data source list shows results for
each tag including duplicates.
26623 To ensure file compatibility concerning file/button links between PI
ProcessBook 3.0.15.x and PI ProcessBook 2012, files should not be
moved from their original location when the link relies on an absolute
(c:\<filename>) reference to a file. If the source and target files must
be moved, and the file must be updated, then the file should only be
opened in PI ProcessBook 3.1 or higher from that point forward.
26625 In the Save As dialog, you cannot browse to an http or ftp location.
Instead, to save a file to an http or ftp location, type-in the fully
qualified path, e.g. http://servername/display.pdi.

26630 PI ProcessBook may show a message stating "Please wait while
Windows configures Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007" during
the first run of PI ProcessBook, if Microsoft Office 2007 is installed,
but has not yet been configured.
26631 A display should be reverted if a PI Server used by the display is
manually disconnected and reconnected using the Connections
dialog so that data updates are received.
26634 Statistics for XY Plot symbols are shown when the symbol is
configured to show the server and tag name in the legend. If the
server or tag name is not in the legend, statistics are not shown.
26635 Trace rendering issues have been seen in which the plot markers do
not appear on the trace and a segment of the trace line appears in the
wrong location. The problem occurs if the segment is represented by
a data point whose start time occurs far before the start time of the
trend. Also, the ratio of trend duration to the distance from the
previous data point is less than approximately 0.0000013 (or less
than a ratio of 30 seconds to 9 months). For example, the data is:
1/1/2007, with a value of 10 and current time is 10/1/2007 0:01 with a
value of 20 and the trend is defined from 10/1/2007 0:00:45 to
10/1/2007 0:01:15. In this case, the data values are 9 months apart
and a trend is 30 seconds in duration centering on the second data
point. In this case, the trace may not appear on the markers. The
markers are located where the trace should be.
26636 It is possible for the correlation coefficient to be truncated on an XY
plot. Once the symbol is selected the coefficient appears correctly.
26637 If an AF attribute accesses a PI tag that is on a PI Server but the PI
Server is not in the Known Servers Table, the attribute will report that
the server could not be found. The PI Server should be entered into
the Known Servers Table and PI ProcessBook restarted.
26770 PI ProcessBook's unpinned docking windows may not dock as
expected on secondary displays on multiple monitor systems. This is
true on only those screens aligned above or to the left of Windows'
primary display. The tab shown for unpinned windows can appear
pushed over by other pinned windows. It's recommended to either
keep all docking windows pinned or unpinned when running PI
ProcessBook on secondary monitors.
26947 The Details add-in needs to be restarted using the Tools | Add-In
Manger... menu item when the Data option stops showing data.
Select the Details item from the Available Add-Ins list and uncheck
and then re-check the Loaded/Unloaded checkbox.
26995 In Book view it may be necessary to resize the window to see all
Tabs.
27091 An error dialog can appear when creating a dynamic symbol if the
default server requires a password. This only occurs the first time the
default server is connected. Acknowledging the error dialog box
allows you to continue to enter a password and configure the dynamic
symbol.

27191 The AF Data Set Add-In works with the SQC symbol with the
following constraint's The "N samples before end time" query is
evaluated only within an eight hour period.
27192 The AF Modeler Add-In works with the SQC symbol with the following
constraints' 1) The "N samples before end time" query is evaluated
only within an eight hour period, 2) When the AF attribute points to a
fast updating PI tag, some snapshot values may be lost.
27243 After importing a display containing an XY plot from an SVG file, be
sure to Revert the XY plot symbol to activate all its settings after the
import. Currently, data is retrieved before all the symbol properties
are set, so there may be unexpected results in the symbol before a
Revert action.
27443 Users who desire to maintain any toolbar changes made in 2.x can
restore these settings after upgrading. The 2.x toolbar customizations
are maintained in a file named PBToolbarConfig.ini located under the
Windows user's ProcessBook Application Data folder. This file from
2.x will normally be located in c:\Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\PI System\PI-ProcessBook in
Windows XP. In Windows Vista under c:\Users\username\ Application
Data\PI System\PI-ProcessBook. Manually copying this file into the
language sub folder (EN for English systems) will restore any
customized menus and toolbars from 2.x. Toolbars positions will not
match 100% from 2.x and will have to manually be repositioned when
running ProcessBook the first time after copying the file.

If at all possible it is recommended to manually re-customize the

toolbars and menus inside ProcessBook 3.1 and not import settings
from 2.x as detailed above.
27504 The status bar indicator may flash even after an initial problem has
been corrected until the next data update occurs.
27556 If a trend is configured with traces from different time zones the
statistics shown in the tooltip for a trace that is in a different time zone
than the first trace will be incorrect if the time range of the trend is
changed at run time.
27635 If PI ProcessBook, PI ActiveView and PI BatchView 3.1 (or lower) are
installed and PI ActiveView is uninstalled, then PI BatchView must
first be repaired and then PI ProcessBook to restore PI BatchView
functionality in PI ProcessBook.
28062 Shortcut keys for Menu items created through VBA do not work.
28698 Redundant warning messages may be seen when user opens a PDI
with tags they are not authorized to see.
28861 SQC does not adhere to the ArcMaxCollect server parameter.
29942 The ability to select a database, using the AF2 Dataset, will be lost if
previously all AF database references have been removed. To

Setup
To install PI ProcessBook manually, double-click on the ProcessBook_2012_.exe
file. The installation files are unpacked and the setup starts after the file extraction is
acknowledged.
You must have administrator privileges on your machine to successfully install PI
ProcessBook.

OSIsoft Release Notes 16

 In order to benefit from the PI Notifications add-in delivered with this version of PI
ProcessBook, you must have PI Notifications client 1.0.777.0 or later installed.
In order to benefit from the PI Notifications add-in presence functionality you must
have Office Communicator 2005 or 2007; or, Microsoft Lync 2010 installed on your
machine. In addition, Microsoft Outlook must also be installed in order to send e-mail
from the Contacts docking window.
PI ProcessBook 2012 installs the SVG add-in along with PI ProcessBook.
Advertised installation is a feature of the Windows Installer that allows an icon to be
presented on user desktops which, when selected, launches the installation process
for an application. Earlier versions of PI ProcessBook supported this software
distribution technique, and it is still available; however, the PI ProcessBook entry
does not appear in the list of installed programs when this installation approach is
used.

PI BatchView version 3.1.4 is the supported version for PI ProcessBook 2012. For
best results, uninstall PI BatchView (any version) before updating PI ProcessBook
and then install the PI ProcessBook update followed by installing PI BatchView 3.1.4.
This version of PI ProcessBook installs or upgrades Microsoft Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA) 6.5. If you already have VBA 6.5 installed on your machine, PI
ProcessBook uses the existing installation and increments the installation reference
count.
Internet Explorer (IE) 8 or a later version is the recommended browser for client
machines to take advantage of SharePoint Server interaction with PI ProcessBook.

Notes for Administrators

The OSIsoft pre-requisite kit should be installed on a target system before silently
installing PI ProcessBook. For silent installations with Active Directory Group Policy,
please consult Support Solution 3136OSI8: “How to Deploy Products with Active
Directory Group Policy”.
To invoke a silent installation, enter the command „setup.exe –f silent.ini‟. The
silent.ini file can be customized to provide default a PI Server configuration setting as
follows:
[COMMANDLINE]
4 = /qn REBOOT=Suppress ALLUSERS=1 PI_SERVER= localhost
PI_ALIAS=localhost PI_TYPE=3 PI_PORT=5450 PI_USER=piadmin
INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\PIPC"

The line above is the only line that should be changed in the silent.ini file delivered
with PI ProcessBook. localhost entries for the PI SDK, component 4, should be
changed to reference the appropriate PI server.
NOTE: This version of PI ProcessBook requires .NET version 4, which requires a
reboot of the system. In order to do a silent installation this version of .NET must
already be present on the target system.

OSIsoft Release Notes 17

 Operating Systems

The following operating system platforms (with minimum Service Pack requirements
noted, where they apply) are supported:
 Windows XP SP2
 Windows Vista
 Windows 2003 Server SP1
 Windows 2008 Server
 Windows 7
Note that saving a file in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 2008 to a restricted
area, e.g. Program Files\PIPC, results in the file being stored in the users Virtual
Store folder although PI ProcessBook continues to report that the file is saved in the
restricted area.
.

Microsoft Vista and Windows 7

The Allow button must be clicked in order to repair or remove PI ProcessBook when
UAC is turned on.
UAC should be disabled to ensure successful deployment using silent installation.
Otherwise, elevated permission dialogs can be displayed by the operating system.

Shared and Administrator Installs

PI ProcessBook 2012 does not support Administrator or Shared installation types, as

were available in versions prior to 3.0.x.

System Prerequisites

OSIsoft products and their installation depend on operating system components such
as Microsoft run time libraries, the Windows Installer engine, .NET Framework, and
other operating system redistributable packages. These operating system
components are available in three prerequisite setup kits. All three setup kits contain
both 32 and 64-bit redistributables.

 Online: Recommended for installation on a computer connected to the

internet. Portions of this kit connect to Microsoft sites and download Microsoft
.NET components for the operating system on which it is run.
 Standalone: Recommended for installation on a computer that cannot
connect to Microsoft downloads or if such connection is not desirable. This kit
does not connect to download sites, but is much larger.
 Legacy: For older operating systems or product distributions that do not
require the .NET Framework 3.5.

OSIsoft Release Notes 18

 To ensure that all necessary prerequisite components are installed, OSIsoft product
setup kits check for dependent components. If a dependency is missing, the
installation will exit, and the user will need to install prerequisites.
See the Prerequisite Kits page on the OSIsoft Tech Support Web site for more
information.

Server Platforms

PI ProcessBook communicates with recent versions of PI Servers. On Windows and

UNIX, the recommended PI Server version is 3.3 or higher.
High Availability features require PI Server 3.4.375 or later.
Integrated Windows Security requires PI Server 3.4.380 or later.
Annotations are fully supported, read and write, with PI Server 3.3.362.61 and
higher.
Migration of Module Relative Displays to Element Relative Displays requires the
migration performed with PI Server 2010 (3.5) or later.
PI2 Servers on OpenVMS are not supported as of Platform Release 1 (PI
ProcessBook 3.0.15.7 PR1).

Hardware Requirements

Physical Memory: Minimum 128 MB; Recommended 512 MB. Although 128 MB
provides acceptable performance for many, increasing the available RAM improves
performance, especially when there are multiple applications running simultaneously
on the same machine.
Processor Speed: Pentium III CPU or better. A faster processor may help
performance if displays have complex calculations performed locally, but increasing
the installed RAM is more likely to help with general performance.
Hard Disk Space: 300 MB of empty space on the system drive for application files
and registry entries.

In addition to the drive space required for the application files and registry entries,
there must also be enough space available to keep a backup copy of the pisdk.msi
and ProcessBook.msi files. Even after the product is uninstalled the backup copy still
exists. This copy is deleted only when the system is rebooted.

Software Requirements

Only the OSIsoft and Microsoft components previously identified are required to run
PI ProcessBook.

Distribution Kit Files

The following files are present on the PI ProcessBook media:

AFClient_2010R3.msi

Office XP (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll) for use with Notifications.

Upgrading from a Previous Version

If you have a previous version of PI ProcessBook installed on your computer, you

should upgrade that version with the released version instead of removing it. During
the installation of PI ProcessBook, the uninstall program of the version previously
installed is automatically run, but you will not lose your settings in the .INI files.
Upgrades are supported for PI ProcessBook 3.0.x and above.

OSIsoft Release Notes 20

 If the startup file for the current release of PI ProcessBook is PIDEMO.PIW, the
upgrade to PI ProcessBook 2012 might not find the PIDEMO.PIW file on startup. The
reason this file might not be found is that this file has been moved to <PIPC
home>\procbook\en starting with release 3.1 of PI ProcessBook. To stop this error
from displaying when starting PI ProcessBook either specify another startup file or
update the location of the PIDEMO.PIW file to <PIPC home>\procbook\en using the
Tools | Preference menu item.
Older versions (3.2 and prior) of PI ActiveView should be uninstalled prior to
installing PI ProcessBook 2012. Only PI ActiveView 2012 can co-exist with PI
ProcessBook 2012 on the same system.

Uninstalling PI ProcessBook

PI ProcessBook can be removed from your system by selecting it for removal in the
Add/Remove Programs utility in Control Panel for Windows XP and 2003, or the
Programs and Features Control Panel for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and 2008
Server. You must have administrator privileges on your machine to successfully
uninstall PI ProcessBook on Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server.
If PI ProcessBook is uninstalled on a system with PI ActiveView, the PI ActiveView
installation should be repaired to ensure proper functionality. The repair needs to be
done to support non-administrator users.
