Configuration tools

An AVEVA adapter can be configured using the AVEVA™ Adapter Configuration Utility, the EdgeCmd utility, which is our proprietary adapter configuration tool, or a widely-used REST tool.

AVEVA™ Adapter Configuration Utility

The AVEVA™ Adapter Configuration Utility is a web-based tool for creating, managing, and validating adapter configurations without directly editing configuration files. Key features include guided configuration workflows, validation checks, import and export options, and support for managing connection settings, data sources, endpoints, secrets, and runtime options.

For more information, see the AVEVA™ Adapter Configuration Utility documentation.

EdgeCmd utility

The EdgeCmd utility enables adapter configuration on both Linux and Windows operating systems. For more information on using the EdgeCmd utility, see the EdgeCmd utility documentation.

REST tools

The following tools are available to make REST calls:

curl

curl is a command line tool used to make HTTP calls and is supported on both Windows and Linux operating systems. You can script curl with Bash or PowerShell on Linux or Windows and you can use it to perform adapter administrative and programming tasks. curl commands are used in configuration and management examples throughout this document. For more information, see curl (https://curl.haxx.se/).

Postman

Postman is a REST tool for systems with GUI components. AVEVA Adapters are supported on platforms without GUIs. Postman is particularly useful for learning more about AVEVA Adapter REST APIs. For more information, see Postman (https://www.postman.com/).
