Retrieving polling port for an element in automation

Solved663 views7th July 2023ip polling port

hans sanders [DevOps Advocate]438 30th January 2023 0 Comments

Hi,

I want to retrieve the polling iip port' for an element in automation.

Retreiving the ip address is easy enough but we have some elements that use http (ip port 80) while others have https enabled (using ip port 443) and I need to address these differently from automation.

So I would like to be able to find out what port tcp_ip requests are being issued on for a specific element.

Thans in advance for your support.

Hi Hans,

You can achieve this by making use of the Class Library

IDms myDms = engine.GetDms();
IDmsElement myElement = myDms.GetElement("element name");
foreach (var connection in myElement.Connections)
{
if (connection is HttpConnection httpConnection)
{
engine.Log(httpConnection.TcpConfiguration.RemotePort);
}
}

or by using the Engine class

Element myElement = engine.FindElement("element name");
foreach (var connection in myElement.RawInfo.PortInfo)
{
engine.Log(connection.PollingIPPort);
}

Thanks Jens for the prompt reply. How do I refer to this class in an automation script (c#) ?

Jens Vandewalle [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 30th January 2023

Hi Hans, you can access these classes by adding below references.
using Skyline.DataMiner.Library.Automation;
using Skyline.DataMiner.Library.Common;

hans sanders [DevOps Advocate] commented 30th January 2023

Hoi Jens,

not working I am afraid.
I added below line in the ‘DLL references’:
C:Skyline DataMinerFilesSkyline.DataMiner.Common.dll

and used ‘using Skyline.DataMiner.Common;’

but still no good…

Jens Vandewalle [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 30th January 2023

Hi Hans, are you using Automation as a solution in VS? If so, would it be possible to verify your DIS settings so that a) Class Library feature is enabled and b) Class Library code is generated automatically as mentioned in https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/TOOLS/DIS/Reference/DIS_settings.html#class-library?

João Silva [SLC] [DevOps Member] commented 30th January 2023

Hello Hans,

If you already have protocols that use NuGet packages the easiest way to include these DLL references is by adding these paths (or similar, based on the version) where you’ve added the reference you mentioned:

C:Skyline DataMinerProtocolScriptsDllImportslc.lib.automation1.3.0.2libnet462SLC.Lib.Automation.dll
C:Skyline DataMinerProtocolScriptsDllImportslc.lib.common1.3.0.2libnet462SLC.Lib.Common.dll

1.3.0.2 is the version I was using in this case.

In case you don’t have this you can also try and Generate the class library from DIS using Visual Studio as Jens has mentioned. Keep in mind that the first suggestion is the current suggestion for new automation scripts.

Hope this helps.
