Automatically detect new AF Elements and replicate them to OCS

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 OCS so I don't have to manually update a PI to OCS transfer to force ...

Stream-level debugging

As a PI System Administrator, I'd like to be able to trace values being received, and subsequently being sent by the Adapter, similar to PI Interfaces. Having the ability to trace/log timestamps and values for specific streams would greatly help ...

Provide a streamlined way to rename streams and push the changes to the endpoint

The current process forces the user to modify the adapter configuration (DataSource for the prefix, DataSelection for the stream name) and the endpoint (PIDA, OCS). The adapter should support modifying directly the stream name and push those chang...

Kerberos Authentication from EDS to PI

Submitting on behalf of a customer concerned about meeting stringent security requirements. Kerberos is a staple in their security architecture and the would very much like to incorporate it here.

Allow PI Adapter for MQTT to log the raw json payload received from the broker

For troubleshooting, it can be very helpful to see the raw json payload that the adapter has received from the broker, rather than just the error response from the attempted parsing. It can be difficult to know why a parsing attempt has failed wit...

Allow multiple references to holding register for bit extraction

Given a 16bit integer holding register, in certain instances we only care for specific bits rather the integer value. Using the bitmap allows the selection of those specific bits but you can only reference the register once. i.e. In data selection...

Do not bundle PI Adapters with EDS

Reduce the footprint of EDS by not bundling adapters with EDS but instead have them be a separate installation so only the desired adapters end up being installed on the device. It will also allow easier for a clearer process when an adapter needs...

Automate dataset selection for each PItoADH Agent

We would end up with more than 60+ PItoADH Agent to configure. We have a strong AF hierarchy across our sites and could perfectly prepare a unique AF rootpath to select the relevant dataset to push from PI/AF to ADH for each 60+ connections. Ideal...

Accept HEX numbers for Register offsets in data selection

Most modbus equipment providers provide information using registers in Hex format i.e. 0x0000 ~ 0xFFFF. It would be nice if the offset could accept this to avoid error in conversions HEX to DEC. Would make things alot more seamless/easier.
