    Enhance the Timestamp data type to support all the formats allowed on .NET

    Use case: ISO 8601 timestamps (2019-07-08T18:48:02+00:00), would be much easier to parse with full .NET datatime format support. It would also allow the connector to be consistent with the dynamic timestamp formatting that follows https://docs.mi...

    Allow different permission models and "view effective permissions for user" features within tenant

    For sharing data to external clients who are not PI/CONNECT users, we cannot use the community sharing and permissions model and instead have to add users to an org's tenant. By default, all users are granted the tenant member and tenant viewer ro...

    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...

    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...

    Try catch management

    Actually, if an error occurs during data processing, datasource stops immediately execution and skips the remaining rows. Try catch or similar could increase stability of data acquisition.

    Alert if ingress detected to be in a bad state

    During 2 recent lighthouse projects, most recently with Kimball Electronics, the machine hosting the PI to CONNECT agent experienced a reboot due to patch installations. PI to CONNECT didn't properly restart (we'll investigate that separately) and...

    Transfer metrics are high level only 

    When observing the agent transfer metrics, we realized that it is processing streaming/historical data. In order to troubleshoot this more closely, we want to see exactly how those data were generated to the exact tags because the data was in hist...

    Add ability to handle exception point type changes 

    Tags from data sources can change point type for whatever reason. When tags are initially added to the transfer, a point type for that tag is created. If for any reason, the point type changes, it will cause an error in connect and the transfer wi...

    Add ability to select individual PI tags from UI 

    We were able to get around this (with help of Glenn and Fabio) by utilizing hidden API endpoint which allow us to add Pi Tags by PointID. Customer had 3000 tags (no AF configured) in an excel sheet, attempting to search for these returned 15,...
