Support passing dynamic timestamps to REST API URI

In order to retrieve Forecast data from a REST API, I would like to be able to pass timestamps from the Connector dynamically into the URI. For example: ...rest/forecast.wsgi?type=hourly&start=2017-02-15T13%3A44%3A44Z&end=2017-02-30T13%3A4...

Allow the UFL Connector to performa a scan Immediately after startup

On startup, the Connector currently waits for the configured scan frequency time to pass before doing its first scan. There are cases where a low scan frequency (e.g. once per day) is required. This results in an unnecessary delay before the Conne...

Provide the option to have flow control loops (for/foreach/while/case..)

We have been dealing with large files with many columns (over 100). In this cases, it is a pain to design the ini file - especially when extracting every column's data into variables. It was annoying to the point that we wrote a perl script to hel...

Add scan time offset option to UFL Connector

Use case: The UFL Connector needs to read a huge data set from a REST Server which is updated once a day. The only way to control when the data fetch occurs is by starting the connector at the desired time. The Connector however currently waits fo...

Enable the UFL Connector to read data from REST Endpoints

Many devices and services (including the PI Web API) offer data via REST endpoints. It would be very useful if the UFL Connector could connect to such REST Endpoints and consume the data without the need of a 3rd party tool. Built-in support for J...

UFL Connector does not use User Agent header in GET requests

I have a customer that would like to pull data from NOAA NWS website using NOAA's API. The API requires User Agent info in the header of the request. Currently the UFL Connector does not provide the User Agent info and there is no option to includ...

Add back the functionality of sending PI System Digital States with UFL Connector

In PI UFL Interface we can use the StoreInPI functionality to store System Digital States but in UFL Connector we can't. In our usage, we have tags related to Limits and we want to show the limit value when a limit is set or "No Limit" when no li...

Auto creation of ini based on json schema

It will be great if we could generate a pseudo ini file with property key as seed for the for variable and field names. We can then pick and choose what to use for store in PI and creating AF structure

Allow REST parameters to be passed from tag configuration for UFL connector

Allow parameters to be passed from the tag configuration or from the ini file to the URL specified as the REST endpoint for the REST client. For example, to query the following URLs: https://restcountries.eu/rest/v1/alpha/uk https://restcountries...
