PI Point name Illegal character handling in PI Connectors

Currently source points for PI Connectors that contain illegal characters are handled differently depending on the PI Connector. Some will replace the character while others will map an illegal character replacement when creating the PI Point. These illegal characters should be dealt with the same across all PI Connectors. Examples of illegal data source Characters: * ' ? ; { } [ ] | \ ` "

    The latest versions of PI Connector for Wonderware Historian and PI Connector for UFL include the capability to configure the substitution off illegal characters for PI point names and AF element names.

    Can see that PI point for Wonderware and UFL connector with handle of the illegal characters but doesn't change the AF which cause issue on below. https://pisquare.osisoft.com/thread/15019-pi-tagname-limitation Caution: Avoid using the underscore (_) and percent sign (%) characters in the Tag attribute, as some applications use them in special ways. For example, SQL uses these characters as wild cards.
