Unfortunately, I can't use XML-DA in my case. Well, I hope, the .NET Framework solution will be enough.
Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards

We do not plan it.

It is not truly impossible, but almost. It relies on Microsoft DCOM protocol, which Microsoft has been forced to publish. There were some attempts to create its counterparty on Linux, but none of them is good enough to be usable on practice (and we ourselves are not going to attempt that). In addition, any really secure DCOM application needs to run under Windows domain, and that won't be possible to replicate on Linux I think. So the solution would be to stay with the "workgroup" approach where users authenticate using username/password, but there is no overall control and assurance that the domain can provide.

We support OPC XML-DA on Linux.

We may have a solution in the future where you would put a part of the product on the Windows machine where the OPC Classic server runs, and it would turn it into a Web service which then will be consumed by QuickOPC. But this is not yet decided/scheduled. You may find products on the market already to do something similar, tunnellers etc.

Oh, I see. Thank you!

And are you planning to add this functionality in the future releases?
Is it even technically possible to browse A&E servers on a Linux machine?

Hello.

OPC Classic (COM/DCOM based), which includes OPC A&E, is not supported under .NET Core.
See opclabs.doc-that.com/files/onlinedocs/QuickOpc/Latest/User%2...l#Development%20Platforms.html .

Problem with EasyAEClient in .NET Core Console App was created by tkenzin
Hello!

I have two simple console applications (.NET Framework and .NET Core) that browse A&E servers on a target machine. They both have the following block of code:
var servers = EasyAEClient.SharedInstance.BrowseServers(_opcServerIp);
Console.WriteLine(servers.Count);
This block prints 2 (correct number) in the .NET Framework application and 0 (incorrect) in the .NET Core one. What am I doing wrong?
I'm using QuickOpc version 5.54.1115.

Best regards
