Send only data that has changed.

When transferring data via satellite it is necessary to keep bandwidth usage to a bare minimum. Currently OMF must send all values regardless of whether they have changed or not. If it could send only the data parameters that have changed that wou...

PI to Connect (formerly Pi to OCS) agent needs to be collective aware

The PI to Connect agent is not collective aware. Instead, only a single archive can be mapped to the agent. Please allow the PI to Connect agent to utilize collectives. This increases the system's overall resiliency.

Some MQTT devices do not send json payloads; for example, some devices send a single value as the payload for a specific topic. It would be beneficial for the adapter to be able to handle this rather than to convert these payloads into json befo...

Allow Definition of Point Attributes via OMF to PI Web API

When creating containers via OMF the PI Points are created with default Point Attributes - if these need to be changed it is a manual process to subsequently change the attributes appropriately. As OMF solutions can be easily deployed it would be ...

Sampling/Publishing Interval parameters to be part of Data Selection description

When configuring the AVEVA Adapters in general, we would find more convenient to be able to define the ‘Sampling Interval’ and 'Publishing Interval' parameters inside the ‘Data Selection’ configuration per each data stream. For instance, when desc...
