Hello,   If you want a OSIsoft pi historian connector from SAS , see here : https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/espcdc/v_039/espca/p0381ap45f74ain1i29tg3kp9lap.htm   Oh sorry, I am now seeing it also uses ESP. 🙁   Other idea :  If the IIoT Platform from PTC ThingWorx is in between, you could read JSON files in (by using APIs on ThingWorx endpoint).   Koen ...
