Getting Started with Extractors

The FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS online documentation provides clear instructions on how to configure extractors. In brief, you download extractors from the main

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

UI.

These are typically

Microsoft

Windows

applications or services. Some may be available for Linux or in containers, but the ones that most Rockwell customers start with are

Windows

based. You install the extractor on a

Windows

computer that has access to the data you wish to extract. You will most likely need to install the extractor as an Admin user for it to work.

After you’ve installed the extractor, you’ll need a configuration file with the authorization/authentication information. To get this information, go to the

FactoryTalk DataMosaix SaaS

Management Console and register an extractor. It will generate configuration file with the authorization information necessary to connect. It is intended to have all the basic information necessary to connect, such as host URL, Client ID, and Client Secret.
