    Support "Data Handling" options for adapters

    The PI Interface for OPC DA can write IO timeout when it cannot get values from the OPC server. It would be useful to have the same option for the adapters so that stale data is marked IO timeout or similar, and automatically invalidates calculati...

    Classic Mode for Adapters

    One of the big issues we have with adapters (outside of the lack of write capability) is not having the same control over creating and editing tags that we have with PI interfaces. As we talked about the adapter automatically creates PI tags or us...

    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...

    Adapter to failover when there is egress issue

    When connection to the datasource are all good for all the adapter failover members, but the primary adapter having issue connecting to the PI web API (egress) for example, adapter does not failover. Unlike PI Interface UNIINT failover, when there...

    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.

    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...

    Allow Adaptors to run in Docker

    Allow Adaptors to run in Docker. This would ease the roll-out and management of adaptors. Also new Cisco switches now allow Docker instances on the switch, limiting the need for extra hardware.

    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...

    View PI Adapter log files via REST calls

    We would like to be able to see the adapter log files via REST calls. Going to the machine itself to view is problematic because of remoting into the router and then going into the container to view. I think in a lot of containerized situations a ...
