Microsoft SQL Server Integration Guide

review the following guide for setting up an integration between belden horizon data operations and a microsoft sql database user scenario in this guide you will deploy a microsoft sql server database container from belden horizon data operations and then integrate with the database using the db microsoft sql server connector for your specific scenario you may use an external microsoft sql server database to set up the integration for external microsoft sql servers, refer to the following to learn more https //hub docker com/ /microsoft mssql server https //learn microsoft com/en us/sql/tools/sqlcmd utility?view=sql server ver15 https //learn microsoft com/en us/sql/linux/sql server linux docker container deployment?view=sql server ver15\&pivots=cs1 bash step 1 add device follow the steps to docid\ t cwpe0 jsfw5 aoj8wpp the device will be used to store tags that will be eventually used to create outbound topics in the connector make sure to select the enable data store check box step 2 add tags after connecting the device in belden horizon data operations, you can docid\ wpe2hmxelarlbnhwbuchy to the device create tags that you want to use to create outbound topics for the connector step 3 add microsoft sql server application note the version used in this use case for microsoft sql server is 2017 latest to add the microsoft sql server marketplace application in belden horizon data operations, navigate to applications > marketplace click marketplace list and select default marketplace catalog click the microsoft sql server application tile from the installation script version drop down list, select 2017 cu8 ubuntu enter mssql in the name field copy the password from the sa password field or create a new one and save it for use later click launch navigate to applications > catalog apps the microsoft sql server application appears, pulls the image, and then starts the application the mssql application shows as running navigate to applications > containers the mssql application container is running copy the ip address for the mssql application step 4 add the microsoft sql server connector follow the steps to docid\ orxib vla2ngvdx94z1ow and select the db microsoft sql server provider configure the following parameters name enter a name for the connector hostname paste the ip address you copied in step 3 port the mssql server port the default value is 1433 username enter sa password (optional) enter the user password you copied in step 3 database enter master table enter test table if you are sending data to an existing table, use the corresponding name show mapping if you want to send data to a custom table, select this check box and unselect create table see docid\ k18pbzznvdkrjn y u193 to learn more to add key/value pairs for the custom table, see docid\ k18pbzznvdkrjn y u193 create table if you want to send data to an existing table in the default format, or you want to create a new table in the default format, select this check box and unselect show mapping see docid\ k18pbzznvdkrjn y u193 to learn more commit timeout transaction commit time (ms) max transaction size maximum number of messages before a transaction is committed regardless of timeout bulk insert count to enable this option, enter the number of messages to group together and send as one bulk insert statement enabling this option can improve how quickly data is processed when dealing with high volumes of tags available for belden horizon data operations 3 11 1 and later throttling limit the maximum number of messages per second to be processed the default value is zero, which means that there is no limit persistent storage when enabled, this will cause messages to undergo a store and forward procedure messages will be stored within belden horizon data operations when cloud providers are online queue mode select the queue mode as lifo (last in first out) or fifo (first in first out) selecting lifo means that the last data entry is processed first, and selecting fifo means the first data entry is processed first step 5 enable the connector after adding the connector, click the toggle in the connector tile to enable it if you see a failed status, review the docid\ ocbqwycy xmmkwv9aunq and any relevant error messages step 6 create topics for connector you will now need to import the tags created in step 2 as topics for the microsoft connector the topics will be created as outbound topics to create outbound topics click the connector tile the connector dashboard appears click the topics tab click the import from devicehub tags icon the devicehub import dialog box appears select all the tags to import and click import after adding all required topics, navigate to the integration overview page and ensure the connector is not disabled and still shows a connected status step 7 enable topics to enable the topics, return to the topics tab and click the enable all topics icon step 8 create flow you can now create a flow in belden horizon data operations to verify the connection to create the flow in belden horizon data operations, navigate to flows manager click the go to flow definition icon for a selected flows manager the flow canvas opens in a new browser tab from the node palette, drag the datahub subscribe node (dataconnector section) to the canvas drag the debug node to the canvas and connect the two nodes double click the datahub subscribe node the edit datahub subscribe node dialog box appears in the topic field, paste the topic name copied in step 6 enter tag imported to mssql db in the name field if needed, configure the datahub subscribe connection see the "step 3 configure connector nodes" section in docid\ crmxroqtwtycjcddtoahd to learn more click done click deploy expand the message window beneath the flow canvas and click the debug icon verify that messages are displaying step 9 make microsoft sql queries you can now verify that you can view data through the terminal command window update credentials, the database name, and the table as needed for your specific configurations to make queries in the container terminal in belden horizon data operations, navigate to applications > containers click the terminal icon next to the mssql container the mssql shell opens from the mssql container terminal, enter /opt/mssql tools/bin/sqlcmd s localhost u sa p \<sa password> , and then press enter enter select db name () , and then press enter enter go , and then press enter the master database name appears enter select name from sys databases , and then press enter enter go , and then press enter all database names appear enter use master , and then press enter enter go , and then press enter changed database context to master appears enter select from information schema tables; and press enter enter go , and then press enter the table catalog for the master database appears enter select from test table , and then press enter enter go , and then press enter if you selected create table in step 4, identification messages from the topic appear, including the deviceid and registerid at the end of each message if you selected show mapping in step 4, the custom mapping you configured appears
