On the Overview page, the PI Data server list grows downwards from the top. On the Server List page, the PI Data server list grows upwards from the bottom. Please use a consistent order for the PI Data server list so then one list does not appear...

Better support for IE

Some field values are missing or inaccurate when viewed through IE as compared to Chrome.  This was seen in the DCM UI and PSC UI for Data Source configuration.  Some IT environments are locked down to the point that IE built into the OS...

Do not silently overwrite PIPointPrefix.config.json when a PI Connector is upgraded

Currently, if you install a new version of a PI Connector, the PIPointPrefix.config.json file is silently overwritten and reverted back to the default. For users that do not use the default prefix, this means that data gets recorded in the wrong t...

Minify the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code of the 1st-generation PI Connectors

The HTML code of the administration pages of these PI Connectors is over 3000 lines long and is very unoptimized. It also seems like most of the CSS and JavaScript code is inline and so is not taking full advantage of HTTP/2's multiplexing. Pleas...

Add a type casting function or operator

The INI files would be shorter and more readable if the PI Connector for UFL had a type casting function or operator. For example, if you are incrementing a Counter variable (type Int32) for each data line, and your tag names are Tag1, Tag2, etc....

Make a version of SkipFile() that stops processing the current file immediately

The current SkipFile() function tells the PI Connector for UFL to skip the remaining lines in the file, but the PI Connector for UFL will continue to execute the rest of the code in the "per message" section that the current line triggered. Pleas...
