Configuring a Process

After creating a project, an empty process is created. You can add activities to the empty process to complete a task.

For example, use the JDBC Query activity to get the snapshot tag value, that is the tag value with the most recent timestamp.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have created an empty process and an OSIsoft PI System JDBC connection. For more information, see Creating a Project and Creating an OSIsoft PI System Connection. If you have not created an empty process when creating a project, see TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Application Development for more information about how to create a process.

Procedure

  1. In the Project Explorer view, click the created project and open the empty process from the Processes folder.
  2. Select an activity from the Palette view and drop it in the Process editor. For example, select and drop the Timer activity from the General Activities palette and the JDBC Query activity from the OSIsoft PI System palette.

  3. Drag the icon to create a transition between the added activities.
  4. Configure the added activities.
    For more information about the configuration parameters, see OSIsoft PI System Palette.
  5. Click File > Save to save the project.
