Querying DTV Service Metadata


With Data Asset Catalog, you can create service instances that are used by DTV (Digital Twin Visualization). The DTV finds the OData services through the DTV Service data assets that are created in the Data Asset Catalog so that you can manage the DTV Service data assets.
