Hello Dataminer community,

I would like to know if there is an easy way to retrieve data easily from one Dataminer cluster system to another and combine them in dashboards or low code apps.

Kind regards,

Hi Alexander,

one way to achieve this would be to create User-Defined APIs on source cluster, and then to call those APIs from GQI DS on destination cluster.

We've recently worked on similar solution and there are a few caveats to consider:

  • You have to define which data the API would return, and you have to build it on source cluster.
  • User-Defined APIs use token for authentication and you have to decide how you will store that token in the GQI DS on destination cluster. Regardless of how you decide to store it, the best practice would be to create user with VERY limited access and to use that users token.
  • You will have to implement HTTP communication yourself, you can use native .NET HTTPClient though.
  • Web Services provide wide range of possibilities to interact with source cluster as well, depending on your needs you might not need to use User-Defined APIs.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions,
Cheers
