ResourceManagerHelper – Filter resources with a specific discrete capability

I'm trying to use ResourceManagerHelper and ResourceExposers to get all resources with a specific discrete capability. I don't want to use the GetEligibleResources method because I don't care about the current usage/reservations of the resource.

I think I need the following code to build the FilterElement, but I'm stuck at this point.

ResourceExposers.Capabilities.DiscreteCapability(profileParameterGuid)...

My capability has discrete values "True" and "False" defined. I want to find resources where this capability is set to "True".

Can you help me finish building the FilterElement?

Hi Thomas,

The DiscreteCapability filter can be used as follows:

// Get all resources with a certain discrete option
var encodingQualityParameterId = Guid.Parse("..."); // GUID of the profile parameter
FilterElement<Resource> filter = ResourceExposers.Capabilities.DiscreteCapability(encodingQualityParameterId).Contains("UHD");
var resources = helper.GetResources(filter);

Source: https://docs.dataminer.services/release-notes/General/General_Main_Release_10.4/General_Main_Release_10.4.0_new_features.html#service--resource-management-exposers-for-resource-capacities-and-capabilities-id_34841

The reason why the "Contains" method is being used on discretes is because a resource could also support multiple discreets, i.e. SD and HD.
