      Hello,

      We plan on releasing a new version of the PI Interface for Emerson DeltaV Batch during May 2023.
      We plan to re-release all other batch interfaces throughout the span of this year.

      We are grateful for your support.

      I heard that "Only [PI Envet Frame Generator (PI EFGen)] is compatible with two-byte charactors this time and [PI Interface for Emerson Delta V Batch] does not currently support two-byte charactors".

      We have to receive Batch data (including two-byte characters) from Emerson DeltaV.

      We know the Batch Interface is not yet available in our environment.


      I would appriciate it if you could tell me when [PI Interface for Emerson Delta V Batch] will support two-byte charactors.

      Hello -- thank you so much for your interest in supporting Two-Byte languages within the batch framework.


      All Batch Interfaces with versions 5.0.1.20 and above now have basic support for two-byte characters. These interfaces now support two-byte characters in Event Frame names and attribute names. More specifically, we focused on addressing the three issues pointed out in KennethReiss' comment:

      1. Event Frames names can now include two-byte characters

      2. Event Frames with two-byte characters in the name will now be properly opened and closed

      3. Event Frames support AF attributes with two-byte characters in the name

      Thank you for your comment.

      Since you commented as follows, does it mean that currently "Fixed" is correct, not "Decliend"?

      "This was actually added in the most recent version of EFGen."

      If this issue is currently solved, could you give me information(site link etc) about it?

      Ellery Murdock, can you explain why this was Declined? This was actually added in the most recent version of EFGen...

      Are these issues already fixed?

      Anyone know the release plan?

      Very important for having EFs named with Japanese characters or allowing EF attributes to have Japanese characters in their value. While AF allows EFs to have these characters in their name or attribute values, EFGen will convert the 2-byte characters to single byte characters, thereby changing the name.

      I have heard that OSI planning for a new Q3 EFGen release & it looks like it will fix the three specific issues in this upcoming release. The root of the case is three issues, all related to support for multi-byte characters (specifically Japanese) in EFGen: 1. EFGen does not close Event Frames which have multi-byte characters in the name 2. EFGen does not create EF Attributes when the attribute value has multi-byte characters 3. EFGen does not name Event Frames correctly when the names include multi-byte characters (some characters are misrepresented) Can someone from OSI please confirm this fix and the release date?
