Populate data sources

Populate data sources

Populating a data source gathers data from a controller, device, or server and saves the data in the namespace. The namespace tracks tags and
FactoryTalk Smart Object
 from the data source.
After adding new tags to data sources previously configured in
FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
, repopulate the data sources to synchronize the new tags with the namespace.
TIP:
To generate the namespace, select
Auto-populate namespace
 when configuring a data source.
To populate a data source
  1. Select
    Data Flow
     >
    Data Sources.
  2. (optional) From
    Configure Data Sources
    , filter the list of data sources.
  3. Select the data sources to populate.
  4. Select
    Populate
    to update the namespace for the data sources. The
    Status
     of the data sources displays
    Populated
    .
