    Provide a streamlined way to rename streams and push the changes to the endpoint

    The current process forces the user to modify the adapter configuration (DataSource for the prefix, DataSelection for the stream name) and the endpoint (PIDA, OCS). The adapter should support modifying directly the stream name and push those chang...

    Subsecond Cropping for Improved Timestamp Handling

    The OPCDA interface currently can only handle subsceonds by ignoring them as mentioned in "Ignore Subsecond Timestamps" under PI Interface for OPC DA - Data Handling settings. However there are use cases where users would like to simply limit the ...

    Allow automatic interface restart based on Device Status

    In some cases, such as when using a tunneller, the PI interface for OPC DA requires a restart to resume collecting data. A feature that allows an automatic restart of the service based on the value of the Device status Health tag would avoid human...

    API to check Adapter buffer statistics

    We can check buffer statistics with PI Buffer subsystem (pibufss -cfg, qs) and also with PI Connector/Relay, to verify whether Buffer is healthy, events in queue and etc.Adapter does not has any API to check this.

    Allow OPC DA  Output Tags to capture OOO events

    Currently there is no way to send corrected values to the OPC DA Server since they are triggered by snapshot. It would be useful if there was a way to alter the values that get sent in case there are substituted/replaced values.

    Automatic restart of the OPC interface whenever OPC server is restarted

    whenever the OPC server undergoes any restarts or configuration changes, the OPC interface will delete all old connections, groups, etc. and it will establish a new connection to the OPC server, loading all ItemID's etc (as if it is an automatic r...

    Stream-level debugging

    As a PI System Administrator, I'd like to be able to trace values being received, and subsequently being sent by the Adapter, similar to PI Interfaces. Having the ability to trace/log timestamps and values for specific streams would greatly help ...

    Allow default settings (eg. disable compression) for tags created by Adapters

    We would like to be able to specify default settings for tags created by the adapters. This would include things such as disabling compression for tags on this adapter (without disabling it as the default for all new tags on the Data Archive). Thi...

    PI Interface for OPC DA bitmask plugin with float data type

    PI Interface for OPC DA has a plugin called "Bitmask" to extract specific bits from regular OPC values that are of type Int (i.e VT_I2 / VT_I4 / VT_UI2) but other data types such as floats are not supported. It would be good to have Float data typ...

    Permit non-protected references

    The secrets references is a very useful addition but they are only permitted for "protected" parameters. It would be useful to also create references for non-protected parameters. Using references for non-protected parameters would help with creat...
