    Add a Boolean data type

    Boolean variables are useful for reusing Boolean (sub)expressions, concise debugging of the value of a Boolean expression, and extraction and storage of Boolean values before writing to Int32 PI status tags (e.g. on/off status, open/closed status).

    Be able to modify the PI Point prefix from the PI Connector for UFL administration page

    It does not make sense that edits to some of the PI Connector for UFL's JSON files can be done through the administration page, but not all. The administration page should be a 1-stop configuration shop.

    Link Referenced Elements from Unitprocedure to Procedure Event

    When Eventframe Batches are created by a Batch Interface, the used Unit in the plant is created as Element in AF and linked to the Unitprocedure EventFrame. Unfortunately it is not linked to the parent Procedure Event, leaving the "referenced Elem...

    Option for PI Point Number Inserts instead of Tag Names - tag renames stop spreadsheets from working.

    ProcessBook stores tags by their pointid. If you change the name of a tag, It will still show up in ProcessBook. We would like to have the option to store tags in Xcel by the tag number instead of the name. As an example, we are getting ready to ...

    Excel places named ranges in formulas when a cell has a named range (instead of cell references). Excel formulas become more readable this way. Datalink should support defined named ranges too. Editing a Datalink array formula directly in Excel a...

    Redundancy for PI Connector Relay

    Operating in a validated pharmaceutical industry, when making use of a comprehensive data/asset centralizing approach, we require the PI Connector Relay to be redundant or highly available. We are currently in the obligation to deploy the PI Conne...

    Install and configure more than one PI System Connector instance per server

    At local industrial sites, we deploy use cases different in nature and end user consumption in separated AF DBs, like OEE, PSM, Autoclave, utilities, etc. We need to centralize these individually into our central PI System. We need to segregate th...

    Edit Display Settings in bulk for all selected displays

    When I select certain displays using wildcard '*', I would usually get 50+ displays. Editing Display Setting (Changing Security) for all the selected displays one by one is a tedious task rather I should have the ability to add/assign new identity...

    Change UFLDesigner to use .NET 4.6.2 or above

    Currently, the UFL Designer uses .NET 3.5, which, unless you install during initial server configuration, is next to impossible to install later on if you have a server on a protected domain with no internet access. Installing .NET 3.5 also requir...
