Stream names are often long and the current space that we have to display the streams is very limited making it difficult to find the streams we are interested in.

Allow Transfer Edit

The current version of the Transfer does not allow edits. This makes things difficult when project evolves and more streams need to be added to the transfer.

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...

Allow Definition of Point Attributes via OMF to PI Web API

Improve the Agent instance naming UI to clearly display character requirements and the 15-character limit.

When configuring a CONNECT to PI Agent instance, entering an invalid name results in the message "Field does not fit the character requirements." However, the UI does not specify what the valid character rules are or which character(s) the user ha...

OMF: Swagger Specification
