Hi,
Has anyone got any more info on this error please?
CSystem::GetElementInfo|ERR|-1|Requesting element information through dms.GetInfo(8 /*DMS_GET_INFO*/, ...) will not be supported anymore in the future.
Hi Philip,
The error message is present because one of the connectors or scripts on the system is using an outdated method to request element info from the system (DMS_GET_INFO).
The method still works as before but will be removed in a later version. The error messages are raising awareness of the presence of such connectors, so they can get an updated version that requests information in an alternative way.
Which specific connector is executing these requests is not mentioned in the error message though, as that information is not available where the error is being generated.
Hi Philip,
There are no immediate plans to remove the call. The main reason to step away from it is that the call is slower than before.
The DMS_GET_INFO call returned extensive data on all of the available elements. Which alternative is best depends on what the connector using the call is doing with the data. Is it interested only in the ids and names of the elements? Does it require specific configuration data? Typically, the suggested approach would be to use the Class Library to access information.
Thanks Wouter,
Is there a date/version when this will happen?
Have you got any details on the preferred method as well please?
