Do not store the entire connection string ("connectString" parameter) as a secret

Currently, the entire value of the "connectString" parameter is stored as a secret to be able to protect any passwords that might be used in the connection string. Since the connection string is stored as a secret, it cannot be read by users after...

Currently, if the AVEVA Adapter For Structured Data Files is installed, it will appear as "AVEVA Adapter for StructuredDataFiles" on the home page of the "Configuration" tab of the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility. This is just incorrect, and I...

If necessary, introduce separate installers/files for the adapter-specific parts of the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility

Currently, the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility is a single program that handles all AVEVA Adapters. Over time, as more AVEVA Adapters get introduced and the amount of adapter-specific features and accommodations increases, the AVEVA Adapter Co...

Prioritize user-friendliness over reflecting the configuration file

Currently, the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility is a program that lets you enter data into the configuration file without having to type parameter names and while having some protection against invalid inputs (e.g. a check box for true/false va...

Show the description/documentation of parameters in a tooltip, possibly for a ⓘ icon

I find myself switching between the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility and the documentation of the AVEVA Adapter to ensure that I know how to set a parameter. It would be much easier if the description/documentation of each parameter was shown i...

Be able to reference an external file that contains a query

Currently, the AVEVA Adapter For RDBMS requires the query to be entered as an input, and it is not as easy to edit, meaning that the current best say to manage a query for this AVEVA Adapter is to keep it in an external file, edit it, and make sur...

For query strings for the AVEVA Adapter For RDBMS, provide a larger, resizable text box that preserves new-line characters

Currently, the text box for the query strings (for queries against the data source) for the AVEVA Adapter For RDBMS is the same as any other text box. It spans only a single line and is not resizable, and its width is limited by the width of the r...

Connector-level Failover - OPC UA 2.x

Support connector-level failover in PI Connector for OPC UA 2.x (relay-enabled version). Similar to UniInt failover (interfaces), failover should be data source specific and always favor the data source in the better state.

Fix awkward duplicate wording when deleting a data filter

When I tried to delete the default "DuplicateData" data filter, the attached error message appeared ("Are you sure you want to remove this array item array item?"), but it reads awkwardly because of the duplicated "array item". The 2nd "array item...

Allow configuration data to be queried (like PI Builder, but programmatic and read-only)

Currently, PI SQL Client can retrieve only archived data, event frames, and data that gives that data context (e.g. elements, templates, attributes, UOMs). However, PI SQL Client does not expose configuration data (i.e. the type of data that PI Bu...
