Have the PI OPC DA Server not rely on cache files (SavedNamespace.xml) for tag changes

It would be beneficial to some customers to not have to restart the PI OPC DA Server or delete the SavedNamespace.xml in order to keep track of tag changes.

PI OPC Server 2017 - SDK Aliasing

With PI OPC DA Server 2017, SDK aliasing is no longer supported. It would be nice to be able to not reconfigure the client's ItemIDs and use an alias after migrating a Data Archive.

Allow editing of the PI OPC DA Server ItemID

The ItemID of PI tags retrieved using the PI OPC DA Server has a backslash. In order to maintain consistency with browsing for OPC tags on their client, is there a way to remove or replace the backslash in the ItemID? For example, .sinusoid instea...
