    Have the FTB interface capture "Active Step Change Commencing" events as event frames

    Some FactoryTalk batch processes require "Active Step Change Commencing" event to be part of the batch hierarchy however the PI Interface for Factory Talk Batch starts event frames only on [EVENT] = "System Message" or "State Change".

    Add TCP option to PI UFL Interface

    Currently the only two options are file reading or a serial interface. But what if you have ASCII data streaming from a TCP/telnet source? The configuration would be almost the same as serial - for the connection, rather than a serial port, just n...

    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...

    Reduce archive file size by eliminating unused record numbers

    Background: On a Data Archive where many points have been deleted, there will be many unused record numbers. Since the size of an archive file is tied to the highest existing record number (for performance reasons), this can result in archive file...

    Use of aliases for tag names

    Allow the creation of tag name aliases.  This would allow us to present more user friendly option for tag name searches.  It would also help present a standardized tag name to users for tags from sources that don't follow our standard ta...
