PI Adapter for OPC UA should support Specific DA Tag Naming

As we are using an ISO based tag naming, we would like the PI Adapters to be able to write OPC UA Tag value into Specific tags in DA and not only in automaticaly created tags. Automated DA tag creation should be a possible choice, not the standard.

    Thank you for your input. PI Adapter for OPC UA does support specific DA tag naming, as you can supply custom stream names. Please take a look at Kevin Geneva's comment under this post of how this is handled through PI Web API.

    I'd like to clarify using the example under "Complete data selection configuration" on this page: https://docs.osisoft.com/bundle/pi-adapter-opc-ua/page/configuration/data-selection.html In this example, the "name" field is set to "CustomStreamName" - if there is a tag on the Data Archive called "CustomStreamName", the PI Adapter and PI Web API will "adopt" that PI Tag and change its configuration. Since the Name field is fully customizable, you should be able to continue writing to any PI Tag on your system. Only if the PI Web API cannot find a matching tagname will it create a new PI Tag.
