ConfD provides various APIs to integrate with components of the developer’s application architecture. We wanted to offer an application note that describes and explains some advanced concepts of the Data Provider API (DPAPI) related to operational data for the “pull” approach, i.e. implementing an operational data provider application to service on-demand operational data retrieval.
This App Note provides insights into how things work, shows how to use the DPAPI, and warns about some not explicitly obvious facts and consequences of some implementation details.
