How to get the list of supported providers?
A provider is piece of code on the connector which translates the requests coming from the TrendMiner appliance to API calls or queries which can be understood by the data source. The standard TrendMiner connector supports providers for some common historians like Aveva PI, Aspentech IP21, etc. but also some generic providers such as ODBC, OleDB and SQLite.
To know which providers a connector supports and what the technical name of the providers is, open the connector API console and execute the following API call:
GET /api/provider
 |
The result of this call contains a list of providers with their dynamic properties. The properties are parameters which will be shown in ConfigHub and which allow the admin to configure the data source connection.
