Configure schedules

The AVEVA Adapter for OPC UA can be configured to run scans based on a schedule. Each data item can be assigned to a schedule in the data selection configuration. The adapter samples data for those data items at the scheduled time.

You start an ingress component without a schedule configuration, a default schedule configuration is added to use as an example.

Note: When the adapter framework scheduler misses or skips a scan for any reason, either one of the following messages is printed: Scan skipped for schedule id <Id> or Scan missed for schedule <id>.

Postman

To configure schedules using Postman:

1. To initialize the configuration, use the PUT method in conjunction with the http://localhost:5590/api/v1/configuration/<componentId>/Schedules REST endpoint.

   Note: If you installed the adapter to listen on a non-default port, update 5590 to the port number in use.

2. Copy and paste an example configuration for schedules into the Body section.

   For sample JSONs, see the Examples section.

3. Update the example JSON parameters for your environment.

4. Select Send to push the configuration to the adapter.

EdgeCmd

To configure schedules using EdgeCmd:

5. Using a text editor, create an empty text file.

6. Copy and paste an example configuration for schedules into the file.

7. Update the example JSON parameters for your environment.

   For sample JSONs, see the Examples section.

8. Save the file. For example, ConfigureSchedules.json.

9. Open a command line session. Change directory to the location of your saved file.

10. Use the following edgecmd command with the name of your JSON file. For this example, we will use ConfigureSchedules.json for the saved file.

    edgecmd -port <port number> -cid <componentId> set Schedules -file /.ConfigureSchedules.json

For a list of other REST operations you can perform, like updating or deleting a data source configuration, see the REST URLs section.

Upon successful execution, the schedules change takes effect immediately during runtime.
