Enact Data Receiver

The enact data receiver connects to the Enact API for InfinityQS reads quality data available.

Example:

{
  "data_receiver": [
    {
      "data_receiver_name": "my_enact_receiver",
      "protocol": "enact",
      "asset_tag": "process",
      "default_stream_type": "Enact_Quality_v8",

      "connections": [
        {
           "refresh_token": "...",
           "client_id": "...",
           "client_secret": "...",
           "subscription_key": "..."
        }
      ],

      "streams": []
    }
  ]
}

Acquiring a refresh key is a crucial step in setting up the Enact REST API Receiver; annoyingly the provider is currently using a browser-redirect heavy workflow. In practice, that means you almost certainly want to use postman to fetch a refresh token: https://www.postman.com/downloads/

You can use the ‘get new authorization token’ button in the ‘Authorization’ header to get a new refresh token. This process needs to be done every 30 days when the existing refresh token expires.

Configuration:

Required and optional properties that can be configured for an Enact receiver:

• data_receiver_name: Unique name of the data receiver. This name will be used to track the progress state of the data stream.

• protocol: Protocol to be used. Should be set to enact.

• asset_tag: Column to use as the asset tag when not specified in the streams section.

• default_stream_type: Stream type to used when not specified in the streams section.

• connections: How to connect to the REST API. A connection has the following configurable settings:

• streams: List of data streams; this receiver ignores this field and fetches all data regardless of configuration, however for technical reasons the field must be present and be a list. An empty list is likely the best thing to put here, otherwise the schema below must be respected:
