Disabling/Enabling the Connector to write to OSISoft PI

The Connector can be run in read-only mode or read/write mode. This can be enabled/disabled by modifying the OSPIConnector.config file as described in the section Accessing the configuration file.

To enable or disable this mode:

  1. Open the configuration file and locate the following Rows section within the Settings section of the configuration file

  2. Change the isWritePermissionsDisabled setting to one of the following options:

    • True - The Connector is set to read only mode

    • False - The Connector is set to read and write mode

  3. Save the changes to the file

"rows": [ { "Username": "testuser", "Password": "testpassword", "AFAttributeScanRate": "10000", "ConnectWithCreds": true, "PIServerName": "lab-glopida1", "AFServerName": "lab-glopiaf1", "isWritePermissionsDisabled": false } ]

After you have saved the changes, the Connector service will need to be restarted for the changes to take effect, refer to https://capulaopus.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OPTPTC/pages/1049624880 .
