This training module covers:
- Using BrAPI to connect DeltaBreed to Field Book
- Pulling fields and traits/ontology into Field Book
- Downloading data to share with BI for formatting and upload into DeltaBreed
Field Book and BrAPI Connections
BrAPI Connections
BrAPI connections can be made to BrAPI enabled applications. Breeding Insight is working on testing connections on various BrAPPs like:
The BrAPI connection allows DeltaBreed and Field Book to connect and share data. Currently, data can only be shared from DeltaBreed to Field Book, allowing users to pull experiments and ontology terms for data collection into a tablet or other data collection device used for Field Book (known as a pull). Although a push of data back into DeltaBreed from Field Book is planned, it is not currently operational. A download of a hard file of data that can then be formatted for upload into DeltaBreed will be necessary for data transfer. If you have any questions or concerns about this process, reach out to your BI Coordinator.
For BrAPI connections other than Field Book, an access token and QR code can be found within DeltaBreed when users click on the left hand side menu item “BrAPI”.
For Field Book specific connections, please see instructions below.
Connection to Field Book
Please note that in order to connect DeltaBreed and Field Book via BrAPI you will need two devices. You will need to use Field Book to scan a QR code within DeltaBreed so you will need two devices to set up the connection.
If you are experiencing interoperability concerns, we recommend that you use Field Book v5.6.10. You can find instructions to get that version here.
In DeltaBreed, the terminology is slightly different than Field Book, though the words mean similar concepts.
