    Allow files to be processed similarly to, or better than, the PI Connector For UFL (in particular, allow data to be manipulated before using or archiving it)

    The AVEVA Adapter For Structured Data Files is supposed to be the successor to the PI Connector For UFL, but they work differently enough that each can handle certain types of files better than the other. The AVEVA Adapter For Structured Data File...

    Allow session persistence to support true QoS 2 data collection and backfill of events after a data source disconnection

    It appears that regarding Session Persistence (persistent vs clean session), the Adapter hardcodes setting the Clean Session Flag for the generic data source (Sparkplug doesn’t QoS 2 nor session persistence) to true. This should be a user-defined ...

    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...

    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.

    Before publishing documentation, please review it, from start to finish, to catch and fix most issues

    Whether I was trying to learn about a product before using it or trying to configure a product, I ended up reading most of the documentation of several new or somewhat new AVEVA products, including: AVEVA Adapter For RDBMS AVEVA Adapter For St...

    Replace the Expand All/Collapse All menu of components with equivalent buttons

    The Expand All/Collapse All menu is meant to be more convenient than expanding or collapsing all components individually. However, it currently takes a click, a careful mouse movement, and another click to select an option. To make this even easie...

    Be able to duplicate and disable components

    The ability to duplicate components would give a better starting point for components that need to be configured similarly. For example, I like components that collect little data and do so infrequently to have no data filter and have the logging ...
