Integrating Device Data from Offline Channel¶
By creating an offline message integration channel, users can import the historical data from a third-party system to EnOS for processing, storing, and computing based on your policies.
To allow the data from a third-party system to be integrated to EnOS, you must create an offline message integration channel for the third-party system. After the historical data has been integrated into EnOS through the offline message integration channel, that data can be used by applications by calling EnOS APIs. Alternatively, the data can also be sent to Kafka topics as offline data based on pre-defined rules. EnOS data asset management functions can then use that data by subscribing to the topics.
Prerequisite¶
Ensure the product that the device belongs to has been created. For information about how to create a product, see Creating a Device Collection (Product).
Ensure that you have the permissions for device management. If not, contact your OU administrator. See Policies, Roles and Permissions.
Procedure¶
Select Device Connections > Message Integration.
Select New Channel.
Enter the following information in the New Message Channel pop-up window.
