    Restrict Batch interface from creating Event Frames using illegal characters

    The PI Interface for Rockwell FactoryTalk Batch in processing evt files used a hexadecimal character of 1f in the generation of an event frame. This results in an error when attempting to export the event frame in an xml output.

    Allow using SQL as a data source for FactoryTalk Batch

    Rockwell FactoryTalk Batch v12.01 allows to output batch data to a SQL database as well as EVT files. Just like with EMDVB, the PI Interface for FTBatch should be able to use both data sources.

    Provide a streamlined way to rename streams and push the changes to the endpoint

    The current process forces the user to modify the adapter configuration (DataSource for the prefix, DataSelection for the stream name) and the endpoint (PIDA, OCS). The adapter should support modifying directly the stream name and push those chang...

    Enhance element creation to use user defined element templates

    The interface can automatically create an element at each level of event frames, but the elements do not derive from a template and there is no way to specify any attributes on the element. The enhancement request is to create elements that are ba...

    PI EFGen 4.1+ has limited recovery capabilities

    Up to PI EFGen 4.0, we were able to backfill OOO Event Frames by simply inputting the start and end time of the corresponding period. Since 4.1, this must be done in a per-event basis, since larger time ranges are modified so that RST matches the ...

    Support Kerberos for adapters on Linux

    Adapters are supported on Ubuntu, which also provides support for Kerberos (https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/explanation/intro-to/kerberos/) Adding Kerberos support would increase the options for deploying adapters securely.

    EdgeCmd "add" data selection with CSV

    At the moment the EdgeCmd data selection with a file path is limited to get and set. This means that to perform an update the data selection needs to be exported, modified, and the imported. It would be a great time saver to be able to provide a s...

    API to check Adapter buffer statistics

    We can check buffer statistics with PI Buffer subsystem (pibufss -cfg, qs) and also with PI Connector/Relay, to verify whether Buffer is healthy, events in queue and etc.Adapter does not has any API to check this.
