Provide a ways to Configure the URL for imported Process Book Files.
Provide a ways to Configure the URL for imported Process Book Files. Currently the Process Book Files are getting unique IDs and those IDs are part of the URL (e.g. https://ip address/PIVision/PB/#/PBDisplays/88)
The problem is for example we change something on the files, it happens that the Display is getting a new ID. (Newer Version of the Same Display, new ID…)
For the end-user its annoying when the URL is changing. He has then to update the Favorites, or is confused (or even think the display was removed). Best option would be to provide also an URL with the Filename additionaly.

For more details on supported URLs and URL parameters, here is the topic I referenced above: https://livelibrary.osisoft.com/LiveLibrary/web/pub.xql?c=t&action=home&pub=vision-v2&lang=en#addHistory=true&filename=GUID-B218E1FA-242F-4D0B-A51B-B39C8C3F0717.xml&docid=GUID-D837F973-250C-4395-BE5A-DCE26A46BA70&inner_id=&tid=&query=&scope=&resource=&toc=false&eventType=lcContent.loadDocGUID-D837F973-250C-4395-BE5A-DCE26A46BA70

Updating a ProcessBook display should not change the display ID. There might be a system issue that is causing the display to be removed before it is re-added, which could cause this issue. We do currently provide a URL to access the ProcessBook display by its path and name, not its ID. I think that should meet your needs. Here is an example from the PI Vision Installation and Administration Guide:
If the path to the PI ProcessBook display file is \\fileServer\Imports\Dealer
\Customer2\ChemicalPlant\DistillationProcess.svg you can open it using the
following URL:
https://webServer/PIVision/#/PBDisplayName/Dealer
/Customer2/ChemicalPlant/DistillationProcessI hope this is helpful.
