Hi All,

What are the best options to get the data from Restful webservice to PI?

Please suggest your views.

Hi Sateesh,

All depends about your PI version. If you are in PI 7.31 SP14 / 7.4 SP09 you can install the PI Rest adapter

Also, you can use the SAP Axis adapter in determined cases

With SOAP adapter you would need to use Do Not Use SOAP envelope + to construct dynamically the URL, but this is the worst option.

Hi Inaki,

Thanks for your response.

Currently my PI version is PI 7.31 SP11, if I upgrade to PI 7.31 SP14, can I see standard RESt adapter in our PI system?

Please suggest me.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sateshh,

Yes you will can see the new adapter. Pay attention, that you would need to update the adapter metadata as this note 2032345 - FAQ: PI 7.31 / PI 7.4 REST Adapter for Advanced Adapter Engine points out.

Hi Sateesh

best options..>

you mean the adapter?

if it's the adapter, than using the Rest adpater would be apt. but that is available in 7.4 single stack sp 09 onwards. You can also think of doing java/xslt mapping or making a  module
