Datapoint and Pickups
The Datapoint component is the entry point for your data into FarEarth.
A Pickup is a specific configuration of Datapoint. It monitors multiple locations for your input data and triggers processing when it detects new data.
Datapoints enable integration with your external data stores, such as AWS S3 or Azure Blob storage, or an acquisition service.
- Configure cloud storage providers as data pickup locations
- Control what data is processed through the web interface with storage event queues
Each Pickup automatically triggers a specific Workflow, creating a new order. With a Pickup, you can:
- Configure standing order parameters
- Set up multiple Pickups for the same Workflow with different parameters
- Specify parameters per order by supplying an order file with the input data
The Datapoint ensures that all input data is processed and preserved until the Order is completed.
