AVEVA™ Adapters

    Replace the Expand All/Collapse All menu of components with equivalent buttons

    The Expand All/Collapse All menu is meant to be more convenient than expanding or collapsing all components individually. However, it currently takes a click, a careful mouse movement, and another click to select an option. To make this even easie...

    Be able to duplicate and disable components

    The ability to duplicate components would give a better starting point for components that need to be configured similarly. For example, I like components that collect little data and do so infrequently to have no data filter and have the logging ...

    Be able to reorder components

    As an AVEVA Adapter gets used more, some components might need to be added or deleted, which can leave the component list in a suboptimal order. Please allow the components to be reordered, ideally by clicking and dragging for the most frictionles...

    Do not have data entry where only 1 choice is allowed (e.g. component type when adding a new component)

    In the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility, when you try to add a new component to an AVEVA Adapter, you get a dropdown menu for the component type. However, there is only 1 choice: the AVEVA Adapter component type. The only required instance of t...

    For PI Points created by AVEVA Adapters, use the point class "base" instead of "classic" if the PI Point does not use "classic"-specific PI Point attributes

    When an AVEVA Adapter creates a new PI Point, it always uses the point class "classic", even if none of the attributes that are specific to this point class are ever used. Instead, AVEVA Adapters should create PI Points using the point class "base...

    Be able to configure history recovery through the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility for AVEVA Adapters that support history recovery (e.g. OPC UA, RDBMS)

    This is item #3 of this suggestion, posted as its own suggestion.

    Show all schedule parameters in the table

    Schedules have only 3 parameters: ID, period, and offset, but only ID and period are shown in the table. Please show the offset in the table as well so that we can get, at a glance, a complete overview of all schedules for an AVEVA Adapter instance.

    Be able to configure the Client Failover Service through the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility or a separate optional GUI program

    The Client Failover Service suffers from the same issues as AVEVA Adapters before the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility was released: you need to constantly check against the documentation and make sure that you spelled parameters and their valu...

    Allow multiple instances of an AVEVA Adapter to exist on the same server without using Docker

    Currently, there can be only 1 instance of a specific AVEVA Adapter on each server if Docker is not used. However, within that instance, multiple components and data sources can be configured. This is convenient, but then the service account for t...

    Make the "Manage Secrets" window resizable

    This should allow users to make the "Description" and "Value" columns wider and see their full values without having to make other columns narrower.
