Can TIBCO Data Virtualization connect to OSI PI Historian ?

To connect to OSIPI from TDV, you would need a custom adapter.

2. In TDV Studio, create a new Data Source and click on "New Adapter" and choose Generic JDBC as the Parent adapter and name as OSIPI
3.  Enter "com.osisoft.jdbc.Driver" for Adapter Class Name and "jdbc:pisql://<HOST>/Data Source=<DATABASE_NAME>; Integrated Security=SSPI;" for Connection URL Pattern
