Connecting to TDV Server through REST
Connecting to TDV Server through REST varies depending on the development tool that you are using to develop your client application, but typically all you need to do is use the Service URL to establish the connection. There are no additional drivers to install.
These instructions are included as a guideline; your system and the necessary steps might vary. Refer to your development tool documentation and perform thorough testing of your system after establishing the connection between TDV Server and REST.
TDV requires that messages sent to the TDV Server are from identifiable source and can be authenticated.

1. In Studio, select the data service under Web Services in the resource tree.
2. Right-click and select Open.
3. Select the REST tab.
4. Expand Endpoint URLs under the Operations portion of the screen.
5. Copy one or more of the URLs that is displayed.
6. Open the development tool or file where you are developing your REST client, and paste the URL.
