Add Event IDs to event logging

Currently, events logged for the OPC UA Connector all have an Event ID of 0. I've had to dig around in Event Viewer quite a bit for troubleshooting, and it's frustrating not to be able to filter events by ID. I mention the UA Connector because tha...

Bring back PIAttributeMaskToTag

Please, bring back the PIAttributeMaskToTag function. It disappeared after PI Datalink 2019SP1 Patch 1. Emulating it with a VBA function calling on an AF SDK COM wrapper is a lot of work and, most importantly, much slower that a native DataLink im...

OMF Support PI Connector Relay

Datalink Search menu not intuitive

The Search menu in PI Datalink 2016 is confusing for users used to PI Tag searches elsewhere in the PI System. "In a row" and "In a column" are particularly confusing, as they suggest that searches are being performed within the row or column. Thi...

Option to disable automatic connections to AF Servers

I would like the ability to disable automatic connections to specific AF Servers. Currently client applications (DataLink) are implicitly connecting to all AF Servers in the AF "KST". This results in very slow startup times for Excel. For customer...
