How to load PI Asset Framework Event Frames?

Current the PI AF does not support event frames. However, we can accept this as a future request.

The PI event frames appear to be available in a SQL database. Has anyone used the SQL extractor to retrieve event frames from PI AF?

Hi @Peter Quinn, thank you for your valuable feedback! We have decided to transform it into a Product Idea. By doing so, we enable other community members to upvote and show their support for this. Once again, thanks for your input and look forward to further engagement from the community! @Marcelo Costa FYI

not sure where the value would be from SQL since the records in PI AF Events have properties that would be hard to get externally. I believe you need the PI Event Frame as it exists in the view from PI System Explorer for example. This would be even more true when the backend that generated the records in PI AF is an MES type system like Emerson DeltaV Batch Historian using the PI EMDVB Interface to generate the PI AF Event Frames.

This would provide S88 structures

we are interested in this function.

Hi. Any update or work around for this?

Already upvoted the request.

Hello, I’m also interested in this because for all reporting tools that I was using before the PI AF Event Frames are the way to go. 

Before I was using different tools that all got discontinued and so we knew there was an extractor for PI AF so I really though that we could use the PI AF for to extract the PI AF Event Frames. 

So I hope we have this up and running because my client is expecting this to be working.

I already upvoted this request

Do we have any news about this, maybe see with the Rockwell Automation or OSI PI.

Thank you and Good day

Hello ​@Peter Quinn,

did you try to retrieve the Event Frames from the SQL Extractor ?

If so I would be interested to have some clues and/or help because I was going to try the SQL extractor and try to figure out the query needed to retrieve all the information since PI AF doesn’t retrieve the Event Frame even if they are part of the PI AF Database.

Thank you for your help and Good day

With the planned Records service, adding event frame extraction to the PI extractor is something we will reevaluate during 2025. Can’t promise it will land above the line as of today, but as the current extractors product manager, I will include it in our planning discussions.
