General

Have the option to discover new data streams, auto-select them, and save data retrieved for them, all with a single query to the data source, similar to PI Connectors

Background + problem When PI Connector tries to save data for a tag that does not already exist (e.g. data for a new piece of equipment), it will create that tag automatically. This is very convenient, but it sometimes led to issues where data tha...

For PI Points created by AVEVA Adapters, use the point class "base" instead of "classic" if the PI Point does not use "classic"-specific PI Point attributes

When an AVEVA Adapter creates a new PI Point, it always uses the point class "classic", even if none of the attributes that are specific to this point class are ever used. Instead, AVEVA Adapters should create PI Points using the point class "base...

Be able to save, name, and easily reuse query strings for data discoveries

Currently, the query string of a data discovery is part of the data discovery, and once a data discovery is run, it cannot be rerun since part what identifies a discovery is the time at which it ran. This is not a flaw, but rather a part of the de...

Rename services to reflect the renaming of the product

AVEVA Adapters were previously called "PI Adapters", but the name of any AVEVA Adapter service begins with "PIAdapter". The PI To CONNECT Agent was previously called the "PI To Data Hub Agent", but the service name is still "PIToDataHubAgent". I'm...

Add a parameter to disable NTLM authentication

On the "Health endpoints parameters" page of the documentation of any AVEVA Adapter, it states that Negotiate (i.e. try Kerberos first and fall back to NTLM if that fails) will be used if a username/password pair and a clientId/clientSecret pair a...

Allow multiple instances of an AVEVA Adapter to exist on the same server without using Docker

Currently, there can be only 1 instance of a specific AVEVA Adapter on each server if Docker is not used. However, within that instance, multiple components and data sources can be configured. This is convenient, but then the service account for t...

Automatic Configuration Sync between failover adapters

When adapters in a failover group, any changes to configuration need to be manually synchronised between the adapters. Without automation, this could lead to misaligned configuration causing data collection issues.

Description When using the ModbusTCP adapter (seems other Adapters impacted): Data is ingested into CDS as a stream A Unit of Measure (UOM) can be manually assigned to the stream in CDS or EDS. But on adapter restart, the UOM is automaticall...

Start/stop components to be retained on restart

Currently it is possible to stop a component for a running adapter. However, if the adapter is restarted the component will automatically start up. It would allow for extra control during commissioning, downtime, incidents, etc. to be able to disa...
