How to use UpdatePropertyValues Service in ThingWorx
Let us consider that we have 2 properties Property1 and Property2 in Thing Thing1 which we want to update using UpdatePropertyValues service.
- In our service we will use a system defined DataShape NamedVTQ which has following field definitions:
- In Thing1 create a custom service like following:
var params1 = {
infoTableName : "InfoTable",
dataShapeName : "NamedVTQ"
};
// CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(infoTableName:STRING("InfoTable"), dataShapeName:STRING):INFOTABLE(NamedVTQ)
var InputInfoTable = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(params1);
var now = new Date();
// Thing1 entry object
var newEntry = new Object();
newEntry.time = now; // DATETIME - isPrimaryKey = true
newEntry.quality = undefined; // STRING
newEntry.name = "Property1"; // STRING
newEntry.value = "Value1"; // STRING
InputInfoTable.AddRow(newEntry);
newEntry.name = "Property2"; // STRING
newEntry.value = "Value2"; // STRING
InputInfoTable.AddRow(newEntry);
var params2 = {
values: InputInfoTable /* INFOTABLE */
};
me.UpdatePropertyValues(params2);
