Running an Extractor
This topic describes the steps to run an extractor.
Before you begin, ensure a CDF project already exists.
First, sign-in to FactoryTalk DataMosaix. For more information on how to sign-in, refer to Getting Started.
After you sign-in, navigate to CDF by clicking the [Continue to Main Site] icon. First, you need to create a dataset. Note down the
Data set ID
. You can use this Data set ID to attach data objects to this data set through the API.Next, you must create an extractor pipeline. While creating the extractor pipeline, select the Data set created earlier. Provide an external id, preferably a GUID. You can use the extractor pipeline when you register an extractor.
At this stage, you are ready to register your extractor. When you register an extractor, FactoryTalk DataMosaix generates the client secret information. Store the client secret information. You must paste the saved information in the configuration file while configuring the extractor.
Download the extractor from CDF project to your on-prem location based on the on-prem environment (Windows, Linux).
Configure the extractor by adding the client secret information in the configuration file of the extractor. You can also configure an extractor by configuring the file present on CDF website.
You are all set to run the extractor. You must navigate to the location of the extractor installer and run the executable.
To validate that the extractor has run as expected, navigate to CDF and open the extractor pipeline. You should see the successful run of the extractor pipeline. You can also confirm successful data extraction by viewing the populated asset and time series data.
For detail information on configuring the extractors refer to the following links.
