## Context * * * **Change Type:** Feature **Product area:** Device management & connectivity **Component:** OPC UA **Deployed at:** [eu.latest.cumulocity.com](http://eu.latest.cumulocity.com), [apj.cumulocity.com](http://apj.cumulocity.com), [jp.cumulocity.com](http://jp.cumulocity.com), [cumulocity.com](http://cumulocity.com), [us.cumulocity.com](http://us.cumulocity.com) > **Technical details** > > **Build artifact:** opcua (10.20.62.0) > **Internal ID:** DM-401 ## Description * * * It is now possible to directly create operations for generated OPC UA devices. This does not apply to all OPC UA operations. Only node-specific operations can be executed on that level. General operations such as address-space scan are still only allowed on the OPC UA Server. An additional configuration (`gateway.operation.validateDeviceOperationNodes`) has been added to enable/disable a validation check if the node-specific operation is done on a node which belongs to the device. If the check is enabled the opcua-device-gateway executes the operation after validation. If the node doesn’t belong to the device node list an alarm is created.
