PI Connector for UFL

Develop an interactive INI editor for the UFL Connector

The editor should allow you to see in real time how it interacts with the data. Being able to test the INI file prior to loading some file would make it much more manageable to read a variety of data format and insure that it has the expected beha...

Connector (UFL) can read AF data structure

Right now it is a limitation because of the current functionality / design. In the future it would be nice if: - the connector can read the existing AF structure - update the existing AF structure - create elements / EF / attributes under existin...

Make CONCAT take an arbitrary number of arguments

Currently, CONCAT only takes 2 arguments, so you need to nest multiple CONCAT (or just use the & operator) if you want to concatenate multiple strings. This can be avoided if CONCAT could take any number of strings as arguments. In general, u...

"13,10 OR 10" New Line default

Currently, there is no default entry for New Line. The user can use any characters as line delimiters, but the Windows and Unix new lines would, by far, be the most common. Please make the default New Line "13,10 OR 10" to save most users the trou...

Incoming TimeStamps Utc

Please rename "Incoming TimeStamps" to "Incoming Timestamps". Please change "Utc" to "UTC". These small spelling issues come across as sloppy.

Allow the connector to use a proxy for web requests

Provide a way to configure the connector to use a proxy and authenticate with the proxy if required.

Remove conflict between TAU framework and PIBufSS

We should be able to use buffering on one tag that is fed by the connector, in case there are moments when data has to be primed into it using AFSDK.

UFL Timezone Conversion

Supported timestamps are currently limited to Local or UTC timezones. Data sources may not be configurable to provide timestamps in supported formats. There currently exists no robust or simple way of converting between timezones using the UFL...

Be able to point the PI Connector for UFL to INI files

Please allow INI files to be pointed to by saving their full path, just like the PI Interface for UFL, rather than saving a copy of an uploaded INI file. This makes editing, testing, debugging, etc. much easier.

Windows Authentication to the Rest Endpoint should be supported with PI UFL Connector. Currently only Basic is supported

I tried connecting to a REST endpoint using PI UFL Connector. However, it seems the Connector only supports Basic Authentication. The REST point only supports Windows Integrated Security. We can use Web Browser to read data from the REST endpoint....
