Hi, after a longer connection issue to an OPC-UA server (Prosys) and a reconnect, all tags stay in a bad mode with the following error: `Error("CreateMonitoredItems failed: Bad_InvalidState: The operation cannot be completed because the object is closed, uninitialized or in some other invalid state.")` We can add tags again from the OPC-UA server (after reconnect) and those tags work, but the other keep staying in bad mode. Is it possible to transfer the OPC-UA session, so that we do not have to add the tags again after such an issue? This issue was with v8.3. We did not test it with a stable 8.1 ---

To help troubleshoot this I will need you to turn the logger for “OpcUaSubscriptionManager” to DEBUG level, start a Wireshark capture (make sure the connection is not using security), and then let this all run until you are able to reproduce. ---

Never mind, I can reproduce this, I don’t think I need anything further from you. ---

I will try to reproduce it tomorrow! Some additional information: - The SessionTimout was larger than the disconnect time - After I updated the OPC UA Connection, the tags were working again. - I tried again some small disconnects without any issue. The only thing, I had the feeling, that the queue size had no effect. At least for event streams and tag source. I will check this tomorrow with a historian. The queue size was accepted by the server ---

Hi Kervin, just want to ask if there will be a fix for this. Thank you! ---

It was fixed in whatever release came on the Monday that followed this discussion. ---

Is there a fix for this? Facing a similar issue on 8.3 ---
