Configure data endpoints

The AVEVA Adapter for Structured Data Files 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.

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

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:
