The Remote Sampler Cloud Adaptor service (adaptor) can be set to read and write data to and from XML files to allow it to integrate indirectly with external data systems. All initial configuration should be entered in the settings.ini file described in detail here.
Data Import
The adaptor polls a preconfigured folder and reads all XML files present. The extracted data is sent securely over HTTPS to the Remote Sampler cloud API where the data is processed and displayed to users of the Remote Sampler web hub for assignment to device users. Following successful upload to the cloud system, the local source file is deleted.
Further information on the required format for import XML files can be found here.
Data Export
The adaptor polls the Remote Sampler cloud API securely over HTTPS and downloads completed work in the form of Javascript Object Notation files (JSON), which it parses and then writes to uniquely named XML files in a preconfigured export folder.
Further information on the format of exported XML files can be found here.
Log Files
The adaptor generates log files which can be used to assist in debugging the service. The log files are written to the location specified below.
