    PI Adapter for OPC UA Array Support

    As a PI System Administrator, I would like for the PI Adapter for OPC UA to support array data types from the OPC UA Server. A large amount of our data may be contained within arrays on our OPC UA Server, so we would not currently be able to colle...

    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...

    Start/stop components to be retained on restart

    Currently it is possible to stop a component for a running adapter. However, if the adapter is restarted the component will automatically start up. It would allow for extra control during commissioning, downtime, incidents, etc. to be able to disa...

    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 ...

    Allow remote configuration

    Adapters are currently only listening on localhost (127.0.0.1) causing them to be only accessible locally. For docker containers, they can only be accessed from within the container or directly on the host (with the --network host switch which res...

    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...

    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...
