Add documentation on architectural best practice

When setting up PI to Connect Agent transfers, we need to emphasize in the documentation that we recommend installation of the PI Agent on the same network, and in the same physical location, but not on the same server as the PI server it will be ...

Add parameter "Max Monitored Items per Subscription"

The connector for OPC UA includes a parameter “Max Monitored Items per Subscription”, which is very helpful in managing UA servers which may have limits on the maximum items per subscription. This parameter needs to also be available in the adapters.

Automatically detect new AF Elements and replicate them to CONNECT

As an AF Administrator, when I add new equipment to our plant and create new elements/attributes in AF to represent that equipment, I want that to be automatically replicated to CONNECT so I don't have to manually update a PI to CONNECT transfer t...

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...

Allow NaN value or NULL

Currently, when sending PI data to CONNECT data services, if an atribute has NaN as value, the whole asset is removed from the transfer. Would like to support NaN or have NULL values in CONNEC

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...
