Manage interface names with service ID
As a PI system administrator, I would like to use the service ID to define the interface name so that I can organize and manage my interfaces more efficiently. I am currently able to do this with PItoPI but not UFL x64.
Ideally, I would like to define my service ID with a descriptor (e.g. <pointsource>-<instance ID>) so that my interface is named with this descriptor in PI ICU, PI SMT, Windows Services, and the PIHOME Interfaces directory. With this naming parameter:
– The interface would be listed in PI ICU & PI SMT as PIUFL<pointsource>-<instance ID>
– The service display name would be PI-PIUFL<pointsource>-<instance ID>
– The batch file would be named PIUFL_<pointsource>-<instance ID>.bat

The italics aren't supposed to be there; there should be underscores:
