Make the UFL Connector logic development/testing/debugging process less tedious

Deploying a UFL Connector solution requires a LOT of edits of the INI file as part of the development/testing/debugging process. After each INI file change and file save, the required procedure is as follows: 1. Click on the Data Source List link. 2. Click on ‘See Configuration’. 3. Click on the ‘Change’ button. 4. Click on the ‘Browse…’ button. 5. Double-click on the INI file. 6. Scroll the page down until the ‘Save’ button is visible (I’m using a 1920 x 1080 monitor). 7. Press the ‘Save’ button. 8. Click on the ‘Overview’ link. 9. Press the ‘Start connector’ button. A ’Reload .ini file and restart Connector’ button would make this process much more efficient. A second ‘Run once and exit’ button would also make the development/testing/debugging process much easier.

    Thank you for your input. We are continuing to support PI Connector for UFL with stability and security releases. However, for feature enhancements, we are starting to develop PI Adapter for Structured Data Files and encourage you to go to the PI Adapters forum to share your use cases.
