Hi, while Satish is looking at this, can you edit your original question to include some more information? The version of OPC Publisher for instance makes a great deal of difference. Up until opc-publisher:2.5.3, the publisher supported Direct Methods to configure the module. I have no personal experience with later versions, but the direct methods are here. The methods were deleted in later versions, but might make a comeback

Hi @Umer Aslam ! Yes, the direct methods in version 2.5.3 can change the configuration file. In particular, the PublishNodes direct method can add nodes to the configuration file, the UnpublishNodes and UnpublishAllNodes methods can be used to remove a node/all nodes from the file.

Hello @Umer Aslam Just checking in to see if you had a chance to see the previous response by Matthijs, let me know if that's not what you are looking for?

payload section:
{
"EndpointUrl": "opc.tcp://172.16.6.106:53530/OPCUA/SimulationServer",
"UseSecurity": false,
"OpcNodes": [
{
"Id": "ns=3;i=1008"
},
{
"Id": "ns=3;i=1007"
},
{
"Id": "ns=3;i=1009"
}
]
}
when add more tag and invoke method it gives this output:
{"status":501,"payload":"Method 'PublishedNodes' successfully received, but this method is not implemented"}

You're calling PublishedNodes, the method is PublishNodes.

@QuantumCache It would be great if we could have someone from the Industrial IoT project to explain the current configuration options. Because like I said in my first comment, this is the 'old' way of configuring the model. It works, but might not be future proof.

Hello @Umer Aslam ,

in the past, an older version of the OPC Publisher was capable of updating the nodes configuration file. I have demonstrated this here.

As far as I know, newer versions of the module lost this way to update it. The team went for another solution introducing cloud services, etc.

The team behind the OPC Publisher is constantly improving the module.

Please reach out to the team by filing a proposal.
