Configure an adapter instance

AVEVA Adapter for RDBMS provides configuration of data source and data selection. The adapter also provides the ability to configure queries to run on the data source.

The examples in the configuration topics use curl, a commonly available tool on both Windows and Linux. You can configure the adapter with any programming language or tool that supports making REST calls, or with the EdgeCmd utility. For more information, see the EdgeCmd utility documentation.

To validate successful configurations, you can perform data retrieval (GET commands) using a browser, if available on your device.

For more information on AVEVA adapter configuration tools, see Configuration tools.
