    File name extensions "_OK" and "BAD" / Deletion of correctly read lines

    PI UFL ._OK file rename should be after parsing to avoid data loss during shutdowns

    My understanding of UFL (confirmed by tech support) is that it will rename files to ._OK extension before loading lines into memory. This means that if the service is stopped (such as during an update) and it has not completely read into memory an...

    Large data sets need to be pulled from a REST server on the internet which supports HTTP compression. Since this feature is not supported by the UFL Connector, the data will need to be retrieved in an uncompressed format. For the current project, ...

    Show the scan time broken up into days, hours, minutes, and seconds

    UFL Connector NoReplace fuction ( Store Mode)

    What we would like is a third option with UPDATE and INSERT, which prevents a new value for the same timestamp from being processed. Such as a NO REPLACE mode.

    Alert user when the interface discards values

    Example:  When using a distribution tag, the number of tags returned and number of values sent to PI can be mismatched, due to missing aliases or data that does not need to be collected. It would be helpful to identify what values are droppe...

    PItoPI should switch from COLD to WARM failover instead of exiting

    As of version 3.8.1 COLD failover is no longer supported by the PI to PI Interface (https://techsupport.osisoft.com/Troubleshooting/Enhancements/19255OSI8). However, older versions supported COLD failover. In the case of upgrading the interfaces, ...

    Support dynamic OPC addresses

    My OPC server's items have the OPC server node name included in the itemID, for example: serverA.AB_1234.PV. I have redundant OPC servers and redundant interfaces (in failover) and would like the tags to refer to the correct OPC address including ...
