Hi, i have an issue adding dynamically properties to a remote template create by snippet.
I get an error reporting this:
JavaException: com.thingworx.common.exceptions.InvalidRequestException: Must Specify A Property Name
this is the code:
//template creation
var paramsRemoteThing = {
name: "MyTemplate",
description: "This is the description", // STRING
thingTemplateName: 'RemoteThing',
tags: 'MyParent:Template'
};
Resources["EntityServices"].CreateThingTemplate(paramsRemoteThing);
//add a remote property
var paramsIns = {
defaultValue: undefined , // STRING
description: undefined , // STRING
readOnly: false, // BOOLEAN
type: "STRING", // BASETYPENAME
remote: false , // BOOLEAN
remotePropertyName: "ThisIsMyNamedProperty" , // STRING
timeout: undefined , // INTEGER
pushType: "VALUE" , // STRING
dataChangeThreshold: undefined, // NUMBER
logged: false, // BOOLEAN
name: "variabile" , // STRING
pushThreshold: undefined , // NUMBER
dataChangeType: "VALUE" , // STRING
category: "remote" , // STRING
persistent: true, // BOOLEAN
dataShape: undefined // DATASHAPENAME
};
// try to add property
try{
ThingTemplates[nomeTemplate].AddPropertyDefinition(paramsIns );
}catch(e){
logger.error("ERROR adding proeprty: "+e)
}
What am i missing ? after creating is necessary to bind remote property?
You may want to have a look at KCS 237302 which goes through dynamically mapping properties on a Remote Thing. There is mention of code on the Edge device, though ultimately it is simply triggering the Service defined on the Remote Thing Template to map the properties.
This will only work if you've defined your remote properties on your edge device. (This example was specifically used with the Java Edge SDK when it was written)
Thank you Jeremy!
It was a syntax error, now it works properly!
