You can both collect & publish data with use of rest API calls.

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMENDED THAT THE DUTY IS TESTED IN A TEST ENV. BEFORE IMPLEMENTED IN PRODUCTION !

Here is an example on how you can update records in M3

Prerequisite

V 1.23 or higher must be installed

A connection to the grid must be defined.

Define setup in VBU

Define statistics definition

Define duty

Normally you will need at least 3 steps

1. Get information about records you want to update. Be sure that you only have correct records i
2. Write result to Butler Database
3. Update M3 with Rest API

Set up of Rest API within a duty

• Module – Collect from REST API or Publish data to a rest API (Makes no difference)
• Frequency – Normally you will run this for each row in the list
• HTTP Server Connection – Drop down from list. See prerequisite
