Ideas

    Be able to reorder components

    As an AVEVA Adapter gets used more, some components might need to be added or deleted, which can leave the component list in a suboptimal order. Please allow the components to be reordered, ideally by clicking and dragging for the most frictionles...

    Do not have data entry where only 1 choice is allowed (e.g. component type when adding a new component)

    In the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility, when you try to add a new component to an AVEVA Adapter, you get a dropdown menu for the component type. However, there is only 1 choice: the AVEVA Adapter component type. The only required instance of t...

    For PI Points created by AVEVA Adapters, use the point class "base" instead of "classic" if the PI Point does not use "classic"-specific PI Point attributes

    When an AVEVA Adapter creates a new PI Point, it always uses the point class "classic", even if none of the attributes that are specific to this point class are ever used. Instead, AVEVA Adapters should create PI Points using the point class "base...

    Be able to configure the Client Failover Service through the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility or a separate optional GUI program

    The Client Failover Service suffers from the same issues as AVEVA Adapters before the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility was released: you need to constantly check against the documentation and make sure that you spelled parameters and their valu...

    Make the "Manage Secrets" window resizable

    This should allow users to make the "Description" and "Value" columns wider and see their full values without having to make other columns narrower.

    Be able to save, name, and easily reuse query strings for data discoveries

    Currently, the query string of a data discovery is part of the data discovery, and once a data discovery is run, it cannot be rerun since part what identifies a discovery is the time at which it ran. This is not a flaw, but rather a part of the de...

    Be able to delete a discovery from the "⋮" menu in the "Discovery Details" pane

    Under a component, click on "Data Selection", then on the "Data Discovery" tab, and then on a discovery. This brings up the "Discovery Details" pane, and the "⋮" icon in the top right corner is greyed out and cannot be interacted with. However, it...

    On the "Configuration" home page, move the "Host Name" column before the "Port" and "Path" columns or state the host name above the table instead

    Currently, "Host Name" is the last column on the "Configuration" home page, but it only ever has 1 distinct value since the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility currently looks at only the AVEVA Adapter instances on the same computer (i.e. the valu...

    Add an option to disable endpoint validation between results of GetEndpoints and CreateSession

    As discussed in OPC UA Adapter - Mismatch of Endpoints returned by GetEndpoints and CreateSession , in the OPC UA SDK 4.1.0+ endpoint validation was added to compare results returned in responses to GetEndpoints and CreateSession requests. The OPC...
