Be able to expose AF with PI OPC DA Server

Today PI OPC DA can only expose tags from DA. To have the option to expose information from AF. Both the AF structure and attributes. We are using AF for everything so why not in PI OPC DA.

Have a consistent presence of a terminating \ in the PIHOME and PIHOME64 environment variables

By default, PIHOME is "C:\Program Files (x86)\PIPC" and PIHOME64 is "C:\Program Files\PIPC\". For new installations, please consider either having the terminating \ on both or removing the terminating \ from both. The current inconsistency can con...

Remove PI System Explorer (Legacy 32-bit) from PI AF Client

When PI AF Client is installed, it includes a program called "PI System Explorer (Legacy 32-bit)". Please remove this from PI AF Client. The continued support of 32-bit PI AF SDK makes sense, since 3rd-party programs may still depend on the 32-bit...

Have the PI OPC DA Server not rely on cache files (SavedNamespace.xml) for tag changes

It would be beneficial to some customers to not have to restart the PI OPC DA Server or delete the SavedNamespace.xml in order to keep track of tag changes.
