Edit a PI to OCS Transfer after it is created
As a PI to OCS Administrator, I would like to be able to modify a PI to OCS Transfer after it is created. I may need to add data to the transfer - because we added new data sources, or because I may have missed some data that needs to be included. This is important so I don't have to delete the existing transfer and then rebuild it with the modified list of PI Points.

PI to Data Hub 2.0.0.0 now supports the ability to Edit an existing transfer. You can now add/remove data from the transfer configuration, change the time range, as well as other properties of the transfer.
This functionality was released May 16, 2022. Please log into AVEVA Data Hub and download and install this latest version of PI to Data Hub to enable this new feature.

Another Use Case -
I need to create a transfer of a large set of PI Tags, in which I do not have the write/modify access. So, filtering these tags easily is not possible. It is hard to search for this list of tags individually and add it in the transfer.Leave alone a case, when I have to re-create the transfer manually again in case a new tag has to be added, or if one is decommissioned.

Creating a PI Analysis and writing those results to PI Points would also result in additional tags needing to be added to a PI to OCS Transfer.

Another use case is to allow backfilling (historical) of data without needing to recreate the transfer. Many times analysis are recalculated, or sensors drift and are recalibrated, or the data archive is backfilled, etc. All of this then needs to make it to OCS. It is a huge pain having to recreate the transfer every time I need to push backfilled\historical data into OCS, which is often.

Easy use cases:
1. I created a new transfer and I forgot to add 1 tag. If I have many tags on the transfer I have to recreate all of them
2. PI tag(s) has been decommissioned and I want to remove it from the list.
