    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...

    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...

    Granularity into Virtual Table status

    It would be useful to have more details about what sub-status and/or step the Virtual Table is on beyond the current available states. This is especially useful for troubleshooting table status and what step it may be stuck on.

    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.

    Adding PI to CONNECT Transfer replication behaviour based on Edit Mode Search

    Problem: Currently, each asset and stream from the PI System must be added individually to the PI to CONNECT Transfer. If an organisation wants to replicate all assets in a specific category or under a root element of the PI Asset Hierarchy, every...
