    Add parameter "Max Monitored Items per Subscription"

    Support Kerberos for adapters on Linux

    Adapters are supported on Ubuntu, which also provides support for Kerberos (https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/explanation/intro-to/kerberos/) Adding Kerberos support would increase the options for deploying adapters securely.

    Sync PI to CONNECT Value Property UoMs with the source tag's EngUnits

    By placing the engineering units from the data archive into a stream metadata, it precludes their usage within CONNECT's UoM functionality (such as data view column labels for example). The EngUnits won't be trivial to sync into CONNECT, but an at...
