    Enabling PI to CONNECT Transfer Configuration via API

    Current Issue: To use CONNECT Data Services productively, we need to import sequential data streams and assets from our PI System. However, our asset landscape changes frequently. Manually adding each new asset and stream is time-consuming and lim...

    Transfer metrics are high level only 

    When observing the agent transfer metrics, we realized that it is processing streaming/historical data. In order to troubleshoot this more closely, we want to see exactly how those data were generated to the exact tags because the data was in hist...

    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,...

    Allow users to find AF element templates more easily

    As I add new elements to a data transfer, I want to easily find an element template by typing its first few letters or expanding the template tree (organized by inheritance). Currently, all I can do is scrolling down a list of templates, which can...

    API to check Adapter buffer statistics

    We can check buffer statistics with PI Buffer subsystem (pibufss -cfg, qs) and also with PI Connector/Relay, to verify whether Buffer is healthy, events in queue and etc.Adapter does not has any API to check this.

    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...
