Developing on-premises applications as REST APIs

AVEVA Events to CONNECT publishes event data to CONNECT data services. It polls the on-premises data by calling a REST API endpoint. To publish the types and events in CONNECT data services by using AVEVA Events to CONNECT, you must create a REST API endpoint. Based on your feasibility you can have different endpoints to publish different types and data. REST API configuration can be done by creating a Data Source with all the configuration details. For more information, see Data source. Configuration of different endpoints for different purposes can be done by using the Data Selection configuration. For more information, see Data selection.

Additionally, query filters can be used in the REST API to publish the specific data to CONNECT data services. For example, eventStartTimeFilter and eventEndTimeFilter filters can be used in the REST API to filter the required data in the given period, and TypeId can be used to filter one specific type.
