Hi,

I am trying to understand the connectivity of edge devices to thingworx platform using Java SDK and Edge Microserver.

 

Can someone answer the below two queries or refer any related articles apart from support guide.

 

1. What is the difference between the features of Edge SDK and Edge Microserver ?

2. How to send commands from Thingworx Server to Edge Devices Using Java SDK ?

Best answer by PaiChung

The Edge Microserver is a compiled version of the Edge SDK.

How to send commands - the Edge Microserver or Edge SDK can have functions/services defined that you can expose as Remote Services and bind within the Thingworx platform.

You will map those on a Remote type Thing within the platform, and then you can invoke them and they'll execute on the agent side.
