Hi Team,

 

Unable to understand how to pass values infotable as an input to AddStreamEntries and use in our custom service.

 

Can anybody help me how to use this service in our custom logic?

 

ThingWorx version is 9.0.

 

Thanks in advance.

Use the StreamEntryWithValues data shape.  You'll have to nest the 'values' table in there.  Also, to see that datashape, make sure you select Show System Objects in the filter.

I always use the snippets, easiest is to use the Snippet section datatable/stream/blog and use the AddStream entry from there, it will prompt you for the Stream name and then stub out everything you need.

That part I already used and I know it works but I don't want to write any for loop to write multiple entries into the stream as the purpose of AddStreamEntries what I feel is to add multiple entries simultaneously without writing any loop.

 

Please help in understanding the syntax of using this service with complete example for ThingWorx 9.0

Hi @RK_0705.

 

What does your infotable look like?  Can you send some screenshots?  Also check out the AddStreamEntries service and notice the value is a nested infotable. 

 

Regards.

I've actually never used the 'plural' style for stream entry 😞 so I'm not too sure what would be required.
