    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...

    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...
