HI all,

I would like to ge the opc item path same like in OPC tag browser has a column OPC Item Path.

I have tried following script in script console

```auto
import system.tag

server = "Ignition OPC-UA Server"
 
folderPath1 = "*Tags Ignition OPC UA/AAT/DB950 DB951/AAT Prägung SPS*"
 
OpcObjects = system.opc.browse(opcServer=server,folderPath=folderPath1)
 

for address in OpcObjects:
    print address.getOpcItemPath()

```

it returns me following output.

```auto
ns=2;s=[default]Tags Ignition OPC UA/AAT/DB950 DB951/AAT Prägung SPS
ns=2;s=[default]Tags Ignition OPC UA/AAT/DB950 DB951/AAT Prägung SPS/Farbcode

```

What i would like to have is for those tags the opc item path same as tag browser.

```auto
[AAT SPS]DB918,STRING38.4
[AAT SPS]DB918,STRING18.8

```

How i can get all the address in OPC UA server as above.  
any help is greatly appreciated.

Regads,  
tar

I got the solution.

```auto
import system.tag

server = "Ignition OPC-UA Server"
 
folderPath1 = "Tags Ignition OPC UA/AAT/DB950 DB951"
 
tags = system.tag.browseTags(parentPath=folderPath1,recursive=True)
for tag in tags:
	if tag.isOPC():
		print system.tag.getAttribute(tag.path, "OPCItemPath")

```
