Here are the directories you should be looking for after you have
done the install. You will find it under Program
Files. It should be called PI. Now I have not refreshed my
screen since I did this install.
So I think I am going to have to look for it over here in
this pane. There it is, PI. Now it
shows up over here. Under PI, you will find the ADM
directory-- that's the administration directory. That's
where we will find some of the utilities that
we make use of. This is where the binaries are stored. Now
the DAT director is by default where the archive files are kept.
If you will notice these 256MB
archives are right here, each with a corresponding annotation file.
There is a LOG
directory and a SETUP directory.
Now in addition to that PI
directory, if you have got any of our client applications,
you also find a PIPC directory.
PIPC, the name comes from the old
name for our very first PI 2 PC
connection software
which later evolved into DataLink. It's
basically where all of our clients go. So PIPC,
is where you would find, for example, the
directory for ProcessBook. The directory
for the DataLink add-in to Excel. All of those things are here.
Now from our point of view, the most
useful one would be to take a look in the
DAT directory. In the DAT directory is where you will find that
master log that we generated
during the actual install itself. And then you will
also find within this directory, the PIPC directory,
the Help directory. So all of the
help files that you might need for all the different OSISoft
clients and server components are
installed on here. And you will find those within here.
The one exception to that rule is you will find under
interfaces, each individual interface
has not a help file, but its own documentation. So you will
tend to find the help for the interfaces
in the interface directories.
