Get list of protocols and table ids in an automation script

Solved1.36K views28th May 2024#automationscript DataMiner DOM LowCode protocol

Apurva Tandon [DevOps Advocate]1.64K 27th October 2023 0 Comments

Hi,
Question 1) I want to know how we can get list of names of all protocols in the automation script?

Question 2) If from low code app we pass the protocol name and the list of table names, so how we can get the table Ids for those table names related with that protocol.

Question 3) From an GQI class like

[GQIMetaData(Name = “Validate Naming Convention”)]
public class ValidateNamingConventionForDevices : IGQIColumnOperator, IGQIRowOperator
{
private readonly GQIColumn _colIsNameValid = new GQIBooleanColumn(“Is Name Valid”);

public void HandleColumns(GQIEditableHeader header)
{
header.AddColumns(_colIsNameValid);
}
…………

private bool IsValidName(string elementName)
{
var engine = new Engine();
var helper = new DomHelper(engine.SendSLNetMessages, “locations”);

can we create an object of engine here and then use dom helper to retrieve DOM related data?

Hi Apurva,

Sorry for the late answer, but we saw that your second question was not answered yet.

To retrieve a list of parameters and their IDs, a GQI custom data source is needed. I’ve quickly created one that retrieves the list of parameters, based on protocol name and version. It can be found here: https://github.com/SkylineCommunications/SLC-GQIDS-ProtocolParameters. The script can easily be extended to also return other information of the parameters.

The readme page on GitHub contains some basic info about how it can be used.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if more assistance is needed.

This example is available on our Catalog and can be used as soon as you deploy it to your system: https://catalog.dataminer.services/details/automation-script/5831

Hi Apurva,

Answer for first question:

in your Automation script you need to install following NuGet Package “Skyline.DataMiner.Core.DataMinerSystem.Automation”.

Now you can use following code to get all protocols in your dms:

var dms = engine.GetDms();
var listOfProtocols = dms.GetProtocols(); // return ICollection<IDmsProtocol>

var protocolNames = listOfProtocols.Select(protocol => protocol.Name).ToList();

Good answer, let me just add some useful links:
– related info on DataMiner Docs: https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/devguide/ClassLibrary/ClassLibraryIntroduction.
– related NuGet package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Skyline.DataMiner.Core.DataMinerSystem.Automation

Hi Apurva,

Answering your 3rd question, if you want to show all protocols in a low code app from a GQI class you can use GQIDMS functionality in an ad hoc data source.

Regards,

Thanks for the reply, but I want to get like all the dom instances from “locations” for a specific section, like it is done with help of DOMHelper.
As this script I am using it for operator in low code app which will read through all element names and with custom operator it will find all invalid names.
So, in my case I have set of rules which I am hardcoding, so if I put it in DOM instance and read those rules from there it will reduce hardcoding in the script
