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...

Add ability to handle exception point type changes 

Tags from data sources can change point type for whatever reason. When tags are initially added to the transfer, a point type for that tag is created. If for any reason, the point type changes, it will cause an error in connect and the transfer wi...

Add ability to select individual PI tags from UI 

We were able to get around this (with help of Glenn and Fabio) by utilizing hidden API endpoint which allow us to add Pi Tags by PointID. Customer had 3000 tags (no AF configured) in an excel sheet, attempting to search for these returned 15,...

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...

Exception and compression settings as stream metadata

PI to CONNECT automatically creates metadata for some tag properties such as pointsource, instrumentttag or exdesc. It would be useful if PI to CONNECT could also create metadata for exception and compression settings. This would help data consume...

Enable Adapter for OPC UA to use the Pub/Sub method

Pub/Sub is proposed to be a more efficient and scalable method of transferring data using OPC UA. Allowing the adapter to access data in this way would increase the options for data collection, and allow the OPC UA adapter to be used in many more ...

Monitoring network traffic of PI to CONNECT Agent

If there is a connection between a PI Server and a restricted Network (limited traffic due to a restriction of the data plan or restrictions by government authorities - e.g. China), it would be helpful to have information about the actual and esti...

PI Adapter for OPC UA should send the previous value when it has been with the same value for a long time

"This enhancement request proposes a solution to address the issue of data interpolation between two values far apart in time in adapter data collection. The suggestion is to include the value right before the new data point, ensuring the fidelity...

Reduce number of "Failure to Resolve 1 PI Point referenced by AF" errors logged in the event viewer

If there are multiple PI Points that cannot be resolved, these messages can quickly fill up the logs. Since event viewer only keeps so many messages by default, this can quickly overwrite other messages and result in a loss of information for trou...
