Creating the Data Registry

Creation of a Data Registry is the first step in the Data Contextualization workflow. For types of Data Registries supported in Data Contextualization, refer Overview of Data Registry.

The below section explains the steps to create a Data Registry (Enterprise Data Registry and IoT Data Registry) from Data Contextualization application.

Creating Data Registry

Creating Enterprise Data Registry

To create an Enterprise Data Registry, follow these steps:

  1. In "Data Contextualization", click "Data Registries" from the left navigation.
  2. In Data Registries screen, click "Create Registry".
  3. Select "Enterprise data" option and enter the "Source name" and "Data tag".
  4. Select file "Upload strategy", "Allowed file type" and "File pattern".
  5. Enable "Use registry source path" toggle button to enter the path for creating a new folder in Integrated Data Lake. For example, /dc/jsontest. By using the Navigating arrow, it is possible to navigate to the created folder directly and upload the necessary files.

  6. Click "Confirm".

It is also possible to create a registry without enabling the "Use registry source path" toggle button. In such cases, the user needs to upload files to the 'sdi' folder in Integrated Data Lake. For more information, refer Uploading the files to Data Registry.

To create an IoT Data Registry, follow these steps:

  1. In "Data Contextualization", click "Data Registries" from the left navigation.

Result

The Data Registry is successfully created.

When an Enterprise Data Registry is created, the user can upload files in the Integrated Data Lake with appropriate tags to initiate the schema discovery process for the registry.

When an IoT Data Registry is created, the user can import timeseries data in the folder "TSI/sdi" of the Integrated Data Lake application to initiate the schema discovery process.

For more information, refer Uploading Files to Data Registry.
