PI Connector for UFL

Showing 56

Add the ability to write to a point using an attribute other than tag name

Provide the capabilities of mapping a UFL data point to a PI tag using a PI Point attribute other than the tag name.  For example, we’ll have a data file from another database that uses a different ID than our PI point name. Could we write to...

Add ‘No Replace’ mode to UFL Connector

Currently the only PI Data Archive ‘Store Mode’ options are ‘Insert’ and ‘Update’. I’m currently working on a project where a large quantity of data needs to be downloaded daily from the internet using the REST client node. To reduce chances of da...

Can we have a version of the UFL Connector that is compatible with the Data Collection Manager and the Relay?

Can we have a version of the UFL Connector that is compatible with the Data Collection Manager and the Relay? Use case would be to allow the DCM to be the one-stop shop for all connectors and would make things easier to configure and manage the ...

Configure target PI/AF/DB at datasource level

Actually the UFL Connector sends data to all of the listed PI Data Archives and AF Servers in the server list configured in administration page, so it's not possible to send different data to different PI DA or AF databases with a single UFL Conne...

Scan only when the data folder changes

Specifying the scan time seems unnecessary. Instead, the PI Connector for UFL should only scan the data folder if a change to the data folder's contents is detected. Surely some sort of event listener can be set up to achieve this?

Configurable OSIsoft\PI Connectors\UFL.ConnectorHost\ location defined during installation

Currently, the folder is created by default in %ProgramData%, which means that the output folder, storing the processed file, is created in %ProgramData%\OSIsoft\PI Connectors\UFL.ConnectorHost\Output\{DSName}\. Since %ProgramData% is generally o...

UFL Connector - Add elements and attributes to existing AF hierarchies

Simply, it would be nice if the UFL Connector could add to existing elements and attributes already in place instead of creating a new hierarchy. Also, would like the ability to create sub-elements from the UFL connector that span multiple eleme...

The UFL Connector should have a run once mode

Many rest APIs allow access to historical APIs. This is data that should be collected only once when, for example, a new piece of equipment is being added for data collection. This one time data collection is currently tricky in the UFL connector ...

Allow users to rename PI Connector for UFL point source

PI Connector for UFL allows for configuring point prefix, but does not allow for modifying point source. Some users prefer browsing tags by point source, and may want separate point sources for different UFL connectors.
