Optional: Configure data filters

The AVEVA Adapter for RDBMS can be configured to perform data filtering to save network bandwidth. Every data item in the data selection configuration can be assigned the Id (Identification) of a data filter. The adapter then filters data for those data items based on the data filter configuration.

Note: If data filters are enabled and data quality changes, both the old and current data quality values are passed on.

Postman

To configure data filters using Postman:

1. To initialize the configuration, use the PUT method in conjunction with the http://localhost:5590/api/v1/configuration/<componentId>/dataFilters 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 data filters 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 data filters using EdgeCmd:

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

6. Copy and paste an example configuration for data filters 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, ConfigureDataFilters.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 ConfigureDataFilters.json for the saved file.

    edgecmd -port <port number> -cid <componentId> set DataFilters -file /.ConfigureDataFilters.json
