There needs to be a 64-bit version of the CatGH5 interface that is capable of parallel processing in order to efficiently process an quantity of data/files (that the 32-bit version is not up to the task of handling well).

It can reduce the chance of startup failure because of the connection to PI Data Archive time-out. It's also helpful if interface can reduce time to get PI point information from PI Data Archive.

Provide a configuration option in UniInt interfaces, to enable shutdown of the interface if it consistently receives error messages when attempting to write to PI. Recently had an interface successfully connect to PI but not achieve write access to its tags; would've been nice to have this interface gracefully shut down or restart, and allow its UFO failover partner to serve the data flow

Add functionality for the Davis to Pi Interface to read additional sensor data points. The Davis to Pi Interface does not support the use of additional sensors, such as a second or third temperature sensor. The Davis console supports additional sensors, but the Pi Interface cannot read them.

I understand that you can remotely view logs using pigetmsg. However this solution does not work for me as the interface is on a controlled network that only allows outbound traffic. I would like a way for the interface node to be able to push out interface logs somewhere such as to my DA, that way I could use SMT to view my interface logs.

the ability to disable the timezone adjustment.

currently we are calculating daily kpis on our global pi server. with PItoPI we are sharing it to the site pi-servers.
so the daily kpi for e.g. 1st januar 2019 00:00AM sould alwas have that timestamp. Because if the forward it to e.g. britain, it has the timestamp 31st decemper 2019 11:00PM (adjusted -1h to austrian time)

plz make it possible to disable it via Location2.

Prior to UniInt v4.6.0.60, UFO sync files created during interface startup would inherit file permissions from their parent folder (assuming child inheritance had been enabled on the folder).

With UniInt v4.6.0.60, this behavior changed and now sync files created by the interface do not respect inheritance.  Instead, they are created with a standard ACL containing only the local "Administrators" and "Users" security groups.

For users with complex file permission schemas, this change introduces additional, unnecessary configuration efforts that scale as interface numbers grow beyond the site-level. 

Add ping -i feature to the interface and allow for either the output of the ping time or destination in the PI tag.

Case: This will allow for IT to monitor the network path taken in communication from one site to another. If the route has changed in the communication of devices, we will be able to track it in PI and know exactly when the route changed.

Currently (as of PI to PI Interface AutoPointSync Connector Version 1.5.0.7), it's not possible to sync changes to "Point type". (See pg 5 of user manual).

Please make this possible in a future release.

Failover mechanism in fxbais (Schneider-Electric PI interface for Windows) doesn't lead to a failover when the primary interface node loses connection to the network (f.i. when its NIC fails). It just starts buffering and sends its data after the connection is back again.
It keeps on updating its watchdog CALC block on IA, so no take over is initiated.
Some applications require "near real time" data, so if it comes in a day later, it's not very useful.
In such a case, the secondary interface node could perfectly take over the data collection.

Scenario: I have a tag that pings site A. I have the response times, which quantifies the response times of the network, but this line is also a bit slow and we suspect packet loss, but I want that in a tag.

Enhancement for Ping Interface to add -f switch 'Set Don't Fragment flag in packet. When sending large packets we do not want to Fragment.

Case: When monitoring a site ping worked for small packets, however with large packets sent, the site showed packet loss which in turn was an actual hub issue missed when using Ping Interface.

Allow Print() function to evaluate runtime variables before outputting text to the log.

For example: I have created a Counter variable that increments for each event that is successfully sent to PI. I would like to output the final tally to the logs but printing the raw number [Print(Counter)] is not valuable without context. Instead, I would like to combine literal string text with the dynamic value of this Counter variable:

Print("Events sent to PI: {Counter}")

Regulatory and/or security requirement to separate data collection from data storage using a one-way data flow. Could apply to Interfaces or Connectors, for example PI Interface for Emerson Ovation.
PI Interface/Connector -> one-way data flow -> PI Server/EDS/OCS

For a PI tag with a specific scan class, if no new value is collected by the PI Interface after a period of time (for example 2x the scan class) , the interface will add automaticaly the value "No Data". It will avoid the usage of a dedicated analyze for this, in the PI Server. And like that, the PI user will be aware of the issue, by using any PI Visualization tool.

My OPC server's items have the OPC server node name included in the itemID, for example: serverA.AB_1234.PV. I have redundant OPC servers and redundant interfaces (in failover) and would like the tags to refer to the correct OPC address including when the OPC servers fail over. Currently the workaround is to create two sets of tags, each pointing to one OPC server's itemIDs in their instrument tags and then merge the data with AF or a PE.
