Ideas

    Provide a streamlined way to rename streams and push the changes to the endpoint

    The current process forces the user to modify the adapter configuration (DataSource for the prefix, DataSelection for the stream name) and the endpoint (PIDA, OCS). The adapter should support modifying directly the stream name and push those chang...

    An option to store symmetric keys in a file - OPC UA

    It would be helpful to be able to read network trace between OPC UA Server and Adapter even if communication is encrypted. This possibility is described here https://www.unified-automation.com/news/news-details/analyzing-encrypted-opc-ua-traffic-w...

    PI Adapter for OPC UA should send the previous value when it has been with the same value for a long time

    "This enhancement request proposes a solution to address the issue of data interpolation between two values far apart in time in adapter data collection. The suggestion is to include the value right before the new data point, ensuring the fidelity...

    API to check Adapter buffer statistics

    We can check buffer statistics with PI Buffer subsystem (pibufss -cfg, qs) and also with PI Connector/Relay, to verify whether Buffer is healthy, events in queue and etc.Adapter does not has any API to check this.

    Transfer metrics are high level only 

    When observing the agent transfer metrics, we realized that it is processing streaming/historical data. In order to troubleshoot this more closely, we want to see exactly how those data were generated to the exact tags because the data was in hist...

    Add ability to handle exception point type changes 

    Tags from data sources can change point type for whatever reason. When tags are initially added to the transfer, a point type for that tag is created. If for any reason, the point type changes, it will cause an error in connect and the transfer wi...

    Add ability to select individual PI tags from UI 

    We were able to get around this (with help of Glenn and Fabio) by utilizing hidden API endpoint which allow us to add Pi Tags by PointID. Customer had 3000 tags (no AF configured) in an excel sheet, attempting to search for these returned 15,...

    Add parameter "Max Monitored Items per Subscription"

    The connector for OPC UA includes a parameter “Max Monitored Items per Subscription”, which is very helpful in managing UA servers which may have limits on the maximum items per subscription. This parameter needs to also be available in the adapters.

    Sync PI to CONNECT Value Property UoMs with the source tag's EngUnits

    By placing the engineering units from the data archive into a stream metadata, it precludes their usage within CONNECT's UoM functionality (such as data view column labels for example). The EngUnits won't be trivial to sync into CONNECT, but an at...

    PI to CONNECT Data Transfer dynamically based on Search Criteria Rather than Explicit Tag List

    Allow PI to CONNECT Data Transfer to be defined by Search Criteria such as Point Source or Tag mask and dynamically include\exclude points based on the criteria -- rather than building an explicit list of tags.
