Viewing Remote REST Metadata
The Generic REST Adapter is designed for streaming Generic REST only.
This streamed file content does not include all of the metadata associated with remotely stored Generic REST files, such as file and folder name.
If access to both the file metadata and the actual file content is needed, then the Generic REST Adapter must be used in tandem with the associated file system driver(s) for the service the Generic REST files are remotely stored in.
The following file system drivers are available:
- AmazonS3
- Box
- Dropbox
- FTP
- GoogleCloudStorage
- IBLCloudObjectStorage
- OneDrive
- SFTP
See the relevant CData file system driver's documentation for a configuration guide for connecting to stored Generic REST file metadata.
