    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 ...

    Error handling for OPC UA Server nodes with "Null" data type

    Using a combination of Honeywell Experion OPC UA and the Aveva OPC UA Adapter, we have observed that when an instrument physically fails in the field or goes offline / stops sending communication to the Experion server, it may appear in the Honeyw...

    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 ...

    Enable Multiple PI to CONNECT agents for one PI Data Archive

    Aside from our main AF Server setup used for numerous use cases like energy, OEE, etc, we have created a second environment of AF Server / AF Analysis / SQL Server to isolate the monitoring of a critical process. We are still making use of a singl...

    Be able to reorder components

    As an AVEVA Adapter gets used more, some components might need to be added or deleted, which can leave the component list in a suboptimal order. Please allow the components to be reordered, ideally by clicking and dragging for the most frictionles...

    Do not have data entry where only 1 choice is allowed (e.g. component type when adding a new component)

    In the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility, when you try to add a new component to an AVEVA Adapter, you get a dropdown menu for the component type. However, there is only 1 choice: the AVEVA Adapter component type. The only required instance of t...
