Noting that I am not the original poster for this idea, I can try to share my experiences.
When renaming an existing tag which is written to by the adapter, there is a special procedure described in this KB article:
https://softwaresupportsp.aveva.com/en-US/knowledge/details/000103249?lang=en_US
The process is quite fragile, and I cried countless tears in cases that I forgot to delete the ExDesc. I also encountered some problems that required me to restart the OMF endpoint which was receiving the info from the adapter. Likely this was something related to the cache mechanism, or maybe it was just a superstition that I developed at the time.
It would be nice to have a single interface where the Data Selection, the point name in the PI DA, and the ExDesc are all updated in a single shot.
Thank you for your feedback. We'd like to understand the exact behavior you are requesting. Are you wanting the AVEVA Adapter to change the name of existing PI tags in the PI Server? That will not be feasible, as Adapters do not have the means/permissions to modify something that has already been created in the data endpoint.
If you could share your scenario and ultimate goal with us, that would help us with determining how to best support you in what you're looking to accomplish or provide you with a solution that currently exists.
