Hi, you can now use the following NuGet package which is public: Skyline.DataMiner.Core.DataMinerSystem.Automation. For more information, see the following blog post: Unlimited DevOps power at your fingertips...

The API documentation for creating dmprotocol packages can be found here: https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/api/types/Skyline.AppInstaller.AppPackageProtocol.AppPackageProtocolBuilder.html We still...

Hi Esteban, the validator error you are seeing is probably because you are using NuGet packages in your driver but the MinimumRequiredVersion tag has not been set to at least 10.0.10.0 - 9454. Setting...

Hi Youssef, DIS does not support Visual Studio for Mac (see also https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/TOOLS/DIS/Installing_and_configuring/Prerequisites.html). Also note that Microsoft will retire...

Hi Alex When using the class library, all code used from the class library is part of a QAction that gets generated by DIS (typically QAction 63000). There is a setting in DIS where you can configure...

In DataMiner 10.3.8, a fix was done so that the ProtocolScripts\DllImport folder will also be synced when an Agent joins the cluster (see this release note). Like Tom mentions, you'll need to put the...

Hi Thomas, The following example shows how to set a property: https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/devguide/ClassLibrary/ClassLibraryExamples.html#setting-a-property-and-renaming-the-element

If I remember correctly, multiple connectors that had to work with Excel spreadsheets make use of the OpenXml SDK: https://www.nuget.org/packages/DocumentFormat.OpenXml https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/open-xml/open-xml-sdk...

Hi Juho, This is by design: When using packages.config, the "packages" folder in the solution indeed contains subdirectories containing both the name and version of the NuGet package. However, the global...

Hi Nathan, DataMiner will check if the request value contains "://" and if so, it assumes that the ip/hostname and port are provided. If not, it will add the ip/hostname and port of the corresponding...

In the project file, you'll have to disable both nullable and implicit usings. QActions use C# 7.3 but these features are not supported in that language version. (the reason that these configurations are...

The DMSClass is part of the Interop.SLDms assembly and is deprecated for use in connectors. Instead, you can use the class library NuGet. An example of how to rename an element can be found here: https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/devguide/ClassLibrary/ClassLibraryExamples.html#setting-a-property-and-renaming-the-element

Hi Geovanny, Could it be that the Default Processor Architecture has been set to X64? (If this is set to X64, it generates the BadImageFormatException you mention.) In Visual Studio 2017, from the menu...

In case you would like to hide elements programmatically, you could use the class library included in DIS. For example: using Skyline.DataMiner.Automation; using Skyline.DataMiner.Library.Automation;...

Hi Sylvain, If you create a protocol solution using a recent version of DIS, all you have to do is add a reference to the  Skyline.DataMiner.Core.DataMinerSystem.Protocol NuGet package (this package...

Wildcards are indeed not supported., your suggested approach using a QAction to perform the matching is therefore a good approach.

Hi Miguel, In your Automation script solution, you'll probably need to update the version of the Skyline.DataMiner.Dev.Automation to a more recent version than the one that is installed by default (by...

Hi Simon, you'll probably need to run VS as administrator. When opening the DIS macro tool window, it tries to copy the macros to a folder but if you don't have sufficient rights it will throw an exception...

Hi Mieke, I'm afraid this approach will not work due to the way the data forwarding works between SLPort and SLProtocol. Refer to Data forwarding for more details. To summarize, for a smart-serial connection...

Hi Michiel, DataMiner compiles QActions using the latest version of the .NET Framework that is installed on the agent (it detects this via the registry). As of DataMiner 10.1.11, .NET Framework 4.8 is...

Hi Robin, this currently is not supported due to an issue in the QActionTable class of the helper code. We have a task in our backlog to fix this 185850.

Hi, the following question/answer provides some pointers on how to do read an Excel sheet: https://community.dataminer.services/question/reading-writing-to-an-excel-file-in-net/answer/105057/

Hi Alex, The implementation in DataMiner is different from a regular console application. This is because by default there is a single SLScripting process to execute the QAction code and therefore binding...

Hi, below an example of a task that is created using this method: var dms = new Dms(communication); var dma = dms.GetAgent(Settings.TestElementAgentId); var scheduler = dma.Scheduler; DateTime startDate...

Hi John, the Session@timeout attribute configures the timeout for a request in this session and overrides the Timeout of a single command (ms) in the element edit wizard (under More TCP/IP settings for...

The GetRawConstantValue method will try to retrieve the value from the Constant metadata table of the assembly. When using static readonly, there will be no entry in that table and therefore throw an InvalidOperationException...

The documentation states "array of strings". The example uses single quotes, did you try with double quotes?

Hi Joshua, I think there is currently no other way to do it other than using the notify call you mention. The class library indeed currently has no such functionality.

Hi Thomas, when a protocol is uploaded, the SLDMS process will check the value of the dllImport attribute of the QAction elements in the protocol and verify if it needs to sync the assemblies between...

Hi Elmaza, The connector throws this exception because it uses the GetTypes method to obtain information about the loaded assemblies in the application domain. The documentation of this method states...

Hi, when calling the GetTasks method, the class library performs an SLNet call behind the scenes which retrieves info about the scheduled tasks. However, SLNet does not set the mentioned properties and...

Hi Sebastián, The entry point of QAction 16200 is defined in the Engine namespace. DataMiner currently does not support the entry point of a QAction to be defined in a namespace other than the default...

Hi Thijs, The notion of the DllImport subfolder has only been introduced with RN26605 (DataMiner version 10.0.10). With this RN, the ProtocolScripts\DllImport (in addition to the Files and ProtocolScripts)...

Hi Gabriel, The Confluent Kafka API exposes a Load method: Loads the native librdkafka library from the specified path (note: the specified path needs to include the filename). Does nothing if the library...

Hi Thijs, serial (and smart-serial) are currently not yet supported. We have the following tasks to implement this: CLP - iDms Include Serial PortInfo CLP - IDms Include Smart Serial PortInfo

Hi Jorge, It's currently not possible to specify that an element should not go into timeout for specific status codes using only protocol XML. There is however a task already to have this supported, task...

Hi Maxim The message you see originates from the SLElement process: When trying to create an alarm/information event, it checks whether the parameter is known in SLElement. In your case, you most likely...

Hi Alex, this exception was the result of a stage using the DCP API which was unable to connect to DCP. IT looked into this and it should now be fixed.

Hi Maxim, this is currently not supported. If desired, you can create a task for this feature.

The ping attribute can be used to allow testing the connection in the element edit wizard in DataMiner Cube. This is explained in the following section in the DataMiner Development Library

After investigation, this is a combination of factors. First, the NuGet 'A' that was referenced in the Automation script had a dependency on another NuGet package 'X'. However, another version of NuGet...

Hi Philip, This is a good suggestion. Currently, the CI/CD pipeline creates a .dmprotocol package (which is the same package as the one that becomes available on the catalog) that will only include the...

Hi Maxim Moq is a constrained framework, customizing the implementation of an extension method is not possible. Like Jens suggests, to do what you are after, you'd need to use an unconstrained framework...

There are also extension methods defined on IDmsElement to monitor e.g; name changes and alarm level changes see ElementMonitorExtenions. var element = myDms.GetElement("myElement"); element.StartNameMonitor(protocol,...
