    Include the "Include variables having historical data only" flag for the OPC UA Adapter

    The OPC UA Connector has a feature that should also be included with the AVEVA Adapter for OPC UA : UserAccessLevel=HistoryRead - No real time data to subscribe for and only has historical data stored Please add this feature to the adapter.

    Launch history recovery data transfers in steps

    When we want to backfill all data from a PI Server into CONNECT Data Services, this could be long and painful. A single data transfer to perform such for a few years may take weeks. It would be good to have the ability to specify an "endtime" alon...

    Enable subscribe using wildcard for AVEVA Adapter for MQTT

    It would be handy to have the PI Adapter for MQTT to be able to subscribe to a broker by using wildcards only. Right now, we need to specify each individual topics on the data selection rule, and this eventually comes as individual subscription as...

    __ParentID metadata should be parent Asset ID, not parent element GUID in AF.

    As a connect data services user, it is more helpful to me to know the parent asset id of my asset rather than its parent element GUID. This would allow me to more easily navigate the Asset hierarchy programatically.

    Integration with MS Fabric Shortcuts

    Analog to DataBricks DeltaSharing, MS Fabric Shortcuts would expose virtual tables from CONNECT Data Services into MS Fabric. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/onelake/onelake-shortcuts. The idea is exactly the same than for the DataBri...

    Enable Dynamic Transfer Selection Criteria that PI to CONNECT periodically re-evaluates

    Have an option such that the transfer selection criteria are dynamically evaluated. Example: User selects AF root node Chooses "all elements" below that node Rather than explicit selection of add elements, evaluate dynamically so that as elements ...

    Alert if ingress detected to be in a bad state

    During 2 recent lighthouse projects, most recently with Kimball Electronics, the machine hosting the PI to CONNECT agent experienced a reboot due to patch installations. PI to CONNECT didn't properly restart (we'll investigate that separately) and...

    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 ...

    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.
