Configuration tools

You can configure an AVEVA adapter with the EdgeCmd utility, our proprietary tool for configuring adapters, or a commonly used REST tool.

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.

CONNECT data services

CONNECT data services includes a configuration editor for Edge Data Store and AVEVA Adapters. For more information, see Edge Data Store & Adapters.

REST tools

The following third-party 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/).
