Prerequisites for developing a High Performance Data Export Framework (HPDEF) plugin

The Developer scenarios below provide instructions to help guide you in the creation of a custom data export plugin hosted by the RealTime service.

To test the code examples in these scenarios, you must:

1. Stop the RealTime service.
2. Compile.
3. Restart the RealTime service after adding the plugin to the High Performance Data Export Framework (HPDEF) configuration.

Before starting plugin development, ensure that:

• Visual Studio is installed.
• The computer is configured for building AVEVA Enterprise SCADA applications (For more information on configuring a computer using the Initialize-DevEnvironment.ps1 script, refer to the AVEVA Enterprise SCADA RealTime Developer documentation).
