compatibility issues between system platform v23 and kepware

Hi,

I have been having lot of problems with a system platform 23 setup which seems to be triggered by suitelink connections, I am using the newest version of kepware as an OPC. It is hard to pinpoint what the reason is but during my research a noticed there is a reported issue from PTC and Aveva regarding problems with 23 and kepware.

here is one example:

Compatibility Concerns: Users have reported difficulties in establishing OPC communication between Kepware servers and System Platform 2023, especially when the servers are on separate machines. Even after configuring DCOM settings and firewall rules, connections may fail. Installing Kepware locally on the same machine as System Platform IDE often resolves these issues, suggesting potential network or configuration challenges in distributed setups.

Integrating Kepware with AVEVA's System Platform can present certain challenges. Notable issues include:

1. DCOM Hardening Patches: Microsoft's Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) hardening updates have impacted OPC-DA communications, affecting components like FS Gateway and connections to Kepware. These patches enhance security but may disrupt existing configurations. AVEVA has provided guidance on addressing these changes, recommending registry adjustments and thorough testing in non-production environments.

2. Compatibility Concerns: There have been reports of compatibility issues between KEPServerEX and AVEVA System Platform 2023. Users have experienced challenges in establishing seamless communication between the two platforms. PTC has acknowledged these concerns and is investigating to provide solutions.

3. System Failures: Instances where Kepware software ceases to function after a system failure have been documented. Such failures can corrupt the software or its licensing. The recommended solution involves reinstalling the Kepware software and, if necessary, contacting technical support for license reactivation.

My question is:  do we have some others here on this forum that have info or experiences related to something similar?
