Allow client-level failover on a per data source component level

Currently the client-level failover for Adapters occur on a per Adapter level. Which means that for instances where multiple data sources are configured, in some circumstances failover may result in an instance with a bad connection to a particula...

The DNP3 Adapter should support group 40

The interface supports this group. The Adapter does not (see https://docs.aveva.com/bundle/adapter-for-dnp3/page/1231146.html). It is essential that the Adapter have this identical feature as the interface, to allow it to read the same data and be...

Allow PI Adapter for MQTT (Generic) to process non-json payloads

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...

Store and display additional UOM for streams for reporting and analytics

A "Value" is useless and completely out of context without a UoM. CONNECT needs the ability to store 2 UoMs (one original from raw data) and one for reporting or analyzed data. The raw/source data Unit of Measure should ideally never change, BUT i...

Monitor PI to CONNECT connection

Sometimes, the PI to CONNECT agent seems to have some interruption in replicating data from a PI Data Archive into CONNECT data services. It would be beneficial to have some more monitoring options (in addition to what is available through the CON...

Enable OmfEgress component to be configurable by instance (by component)

In our process we wish to send a different set of data to different PI environments. For instance we would like all data to egress to the PROD environment while only egress a subset of data to the DEV environment, in which we don't need all the da...

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 ...
