Improve warning message handling for dynamic payloads in the adapter logs

When the MQTT Adapter is handling dynamic JSON payloads, there are a high number of warning messages that flood the adapter component message logs. To avoid taking up too much disk space and to make it easier to navigate the logs without digging t...

Creating more dynamic tagnames

As a system administrator, I want to make the creation of Pi points more dynamic. Each message I receive contains device data and a field indicating the originating device. I want to use these values ​​to create Pi points that reflect the message'...

Use proper names instead of programming naming conventions (e.g. "RDBMS", not "Rdbms")

From the "Configuration" home page, if I click on an AVEVA Adapter instance and then click on the "Configure Adapter" button, then, in the page that appears, I can see the name of the AVEVA Adapter in the top left corner. However, this name is wri...

Show all schedule parameters in the schedule table

Schedules have only 3 parameters: ID, period, and offset, but only ID and period are shown in the table. Please show the offset in the table as well so that we can get, at a glance, a complete overview of all schedules for an AVEVA Adapter instance.

The AVEVA Adapter For Structured Data Files is supposed to be the successor to the PI Connector For UFL, but they work differently enough that each can handle certain types of files better than the other. The AVEVA Adapter For Structured Data File...

Have the option to discover new data streams, auto-select them, and save data retrieved for them, all with a single query to the data source, similar to PI Connectors

Background + problem When PI Connector tries to save data for a tag that does not already exist (e.g. data for a new piece of equipment), it will create that tag automatically. This is very convenient, but it sometimes led to issues where data tha...

Allow multiple instances of an AVEVA Adapter to exist on the same server without using Docker
