Configure data endpoints

The AVEVA Adapter for RDBMS must be configured with data endpoint to specify the data you want the adapter to collect from the data sources.

Postman

To configure the data endpoints using Postman:

1. To initialize the configuration, use the PUT method in conjunction with the http://localhost:5590/api/v1/configuration/omfegress/dataendpoints 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 endpoints 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 the data endpoints using EdgeCmd:

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

6. Copy and paste an example configuration for data endpoints 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, ConfigureDataEndpoints.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 ConfigureDataEndpoints.json for the saved file.

    edgecmd -port <port number> -cid OmfEgress set DataEndpoints -file /.ConfigureDataEndpoints.json

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

After data source configuration is complete, you must configure data selection to define the streams to collect from the data source.

Special characters encoding

The adapter encodes special characters used in the data selection StreamId parameter string before sending it to configured endpoints. The encoded characters look as follows:
