Tasks described in this chapter are usually not necessary, but they might be needed in some more advanced scenarios.

 

Disabling the OPC UA Complex Data extension: For licensing or performance reasons.

Configuring the OPC UA Complex Data extension and its parts: E.g. in order to use shared data type model provider, or to work around errors in data type dictionaries.

Navigation in the OPC UA data model: Access metadata about data types in OPC UA.

Adding or removing data type dictionaries to or from the OPC UA data type system:  Use a data type dictionary that is different from what resides in the OPC server, or is not present in the OPC server at all

 

The OPC UA Complex Data extension is, well, complex.  This conceptual document cannot describe all its capabilities and internal workings in full. Remember that individual types and their members are documented in the reference documentation. If you have a task that is not covered in the documentation and you are unclear about how to resolve it, contact your vendor for technical support and advice.
