dataminer automation script, get elements from service name

Solved1.06K views17th July 2023Automation

Hi:

I am building a dataminer automation script using C# code.

I noticed we can get element lists from a view:

Element[] elements = engine.FindElementsInView("MyView");

Is there a way that in C# code we can get the element lists from service name? e.g.

Element[] elements = engine.FindElementsInService("MyService");

Thanks

Hi Penf,

I could not find a method in the Engine class to retrieve the list of elements from a service. However, I found a possible way to do this using the DataMiner class library

Please find below an example:

// Create a DMS object
IDms dms = engine.GetDms();

// Get the service by name
IDmsService dmsService = dms.GetService("MyService");

// Get the settings from the service
ServiceParamSettings[] serviceParamsSettings = dmsService.ParameterSettings.IncludedParameters;

// Iterate through the settings available in the service
foreach (ServiceParamSettings serviceParamSetting in serviceParamsSettings)
{
engine.GenerateInformation("Child Element ID=" + serviceParamSetting.ElementID);
engine.GenerateInformation("Child DMA ID=" + serviceParamSetting.DataMinerID);

int iElementId = Convert.ToInt32(serviceParamSetting.ElementID);
int iDmaId = Convert.ToInt32(serviceParamSetting.DataMinerID);

// Create a DmsElementId object so we can find our element using IDMS class
DmsElementId elementId = new DmsElementId(iDmaId, iElementId);

// With the element ID, you can use the IDmsElement interface to interact with the element
IDmsElement dmsElement = dms.GetElement(elementId);

engine.GenerateInformation("Element Name=" + dmsElement.Name);
}

References:

  • IDms methods
  • IDmsServiceProperties
  • IDmsElement interface
