What is PI Coresight?
PI Coresight is an intuitive, web-based tool that
delivers fast, easy, and secure access to all your
PI System data.
With PI Coresight you can easily perform ad hoc
analysis, discover answers, and share your
insights with others.

Why Integrate?
Allows a user to quickly open “interesting” data in
PI Coresight without requiring a preexisting
display or manual work.
• Selected data items in PI Process Book, PI
DataLink, PI WebParts, PI Notification (likely
future features available from OSIsoft)
• Custom applications

Building a sample application
1.
Find and connect to the PI Coresight Web
Service
2.
Make the Web Service call to create a display
3.
Open the Display

Find and connect to service

We’ll need the URLs to both UI website and
the Web Services
Stored in site’s default PI AF server by PI
Coresight installer

Find and connect - Authentication
•
Any application that connects to the PI
Coresight Web Services must support
Windows Authentication.
•
By default the authentication mode is
“Negotiate” (Kerberos).

Adding a Web Service Reference
•
.NET applications require a Web Reference
in order to call the Web Service.
•
Other platforms may require a similar step.

Web Reference, continued
Add the bolded line temporarily to
Coresight\Services\Web.config:
…
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="CoresightBehavior">
<serviceThrottling …/>
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
</behavior>

The COG
•

•
•
A common way to share data and context
between PI System applications
By data we mean PI Tags and/or PI AF Attributes
grouped into an abstract symbols
By context we mean a time range
XML
Focus on the COG features PI Coresight Trends

Major COG elements
Databases
A list of PI System and PI AF servers
Datasources
PI Tags or AF Elements (links to a Database)
Symbols
Groups of Datasources (links to one or more Datasources)
Context
Time ranges (links to nothing, for whole Display)

COG Time
• Under an XML Tag: <Context><TimeRange>
• Date and Time (Rfc3339)
"yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss'.'FFFFFFFK"
• Just time
"HH':'mm':'ss'.'FFFFFFFK“
• Or PI’s relative time notation (“*”, “*-8h”, etc)

What’s subject to change?
Endpoints
– The paths of the URLs may change
– AF Configuration may include additional URLs
– Method calls intended for external consumption may be
grouped together into a single “endpoint”
Code
– Expect code libraries (if provided) and XSDs will be updated.
Service References may need a refresh.
