BroadCastPopupRequestMessage: how to use, how to implement?

Hi Dojo,

is there any easily available way to use this functionality? The description in the release notes sounds very promising, so we'd be very happy to be able to send a notification as a pop up directly to all connected users.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot! 🙂

Hi Nils,

It should be possible to get a list of all connected users as following:

var users = connection.HandleResponseMessage(new GetInfoMessage(InfoType.ClientList))
.Cast<LoginInfoResponseMessage>()
.Where(c => (c.ConnectionAttributes & ConnectionAttributes.Cube) == ConnectionAttributes.Cube)
.Select(c => c.Name)
.ToList();

Which you can then use to send out a popup message to these users like this:

BroadcastPopupRequestMessage req = new BroadcastPopupRequestMessage
{
PopupInfo = new Skyline.DataMiner.Net.Broadcast.PopupInfo
{
Source = connectionId,
Title = "Your Title",
Message = "Your Message",
UserNames = users,
Expiration = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Ticks + tickOffset),
}
};

Kind regards,

Hi Seppe,

Thanks for your reply! That was a great hint — we got it working with the code below.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Skyline.DataMiner.Automation;
using Skyline.DataMiner.Net;
using Skyline.DataMiner.Net.Messages;
using Skyline.DataMiner.Net.Messages.SLDataGateway;

public class Script
{
public void Run(Engine engine)
{
// Konfiguration
string title = "Systemmeldung";
string message = "Wartung beginnt in 1 Minuten.";
TimeSpan duration = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1);

try
{
// 1. Cube-User abrufen über SLNet
var response = engine.SendSLNetMessage(new GetInfoMessage(InfoType.ClientList));

var cubeUsers = response
.OfType<LoginInfoResponseMessage>()
.Where(c => (c.ConnectionAttributes & ConnectionAttributes.Cube) == ConnectionAttributes.Cube)
.Select(c => c.Name)
.Distinct()
.ToList();

if (cubeUsers.Count == 0)
{
engine.Log("Keine aktiven Cube-User gefunden.");
return;
}

// 2. Popup vorbereiten
DateTime expiration = DateTime.Now.Add(duration);

var popup = new BroadcastPopupRequestMessage
{
PopupInfo = new Skyline.DataMiner.Net.Broadcast.PopupInfo
{
Source = Guid.NewGuid(),
Title = title,
Message = message,
UserNames = cubeUsers,
Expiration = expiration
}
};

// 3. Nachricht senden
bool sendPopup = true; // Auf true setzen, wenn wirklich senden, ansonsten Logfile

if (sendPopup)
{
engine.SendSLNetMessage(popup);
}
else
{
engine.Log("Popup wurde NICHT gesendet – nur Testausgabe:");
engine.Log("Title: " + popup.PopupInfo.Title);
engine.Log("Message: " + popup.PopupInfo.Message);
engine.Log("Users: " + string.Join(", ", popup.PopupInfo.UserNames));
engine.Log("Expiration: " + popup.PopupInfo.Expiration);
engine.Log("Source GUID: " + popup.PopupInfo.Source);
}

engine.Log($"Popup an {cubeUsers.Count} Benutzer gesendet.");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
engine.Log("Fehler: " + ex.Message);
}
}
}

Best regards! (and sorry about the German comments in the code)
