dco rest api _ asset creation

[DCIM_Support]

Hi,

I've to create a new asset in DCO using rest api using post request 

/assets/{asset-id}/children.

How can I define a new asset_id?

I've to create asset in a specific room (I've a roomId), but with api I can specify only xCoordinate, yCoordinate or rackMountPosition.

Could you give me some examples of asset creation?

thanks

this error has been returned :

"code": 100108,

"message": "Adding assets to this asset is not supported",

when I try to create asset via api: POST /assets/{asset-id}/children.

While I can create asset in same position using DCO desktop ui.

thanks

Hi Jef.

I've To create a server in our warehouse.

I can using dco gui, but via rest ws I can't.

Our warehouse have these properties:

{

that are servers I've created via DCO Desktop Gui.

Trying to create another server here via POST 

curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{
  "genomeId": "ddbfb9ba-0dfb-4406-86c2-a5fae330d12d",

  "xCoordinate": 0,

}' 'https://10.4.4.32/api/v8.1/assets/54692dd1-1444-4068-b2f3-17e8183e9d23/children'

I've this error back:

{ "code": 100108, "message": "Adding assets to this asset is not supported", "details": "54692dd1-1444-4068-b2f3-17e8183e9d23" }

Hi Lucama,

Many thanks for the nice details - It is reproducible, but unfortunately not supported.  Currently we do not have supported REST api to add equipment to a room (data center or storage room). As described in the implementation notes, currently rack-mounted equipment can be added via the api (similar to current web client functionality):

If you wish, I can capture a feature request for you. You are also most welcome to post one here: Feature requests

Kind regards

Thanks Jef for your help.

I'll create a feature request about this item.

To bypass problem I've created (via desktop DCO UI) a generic Rack ("type": "rack") in our storage room, a now I'm trying to create here a server using same rest api and parameters.

But It seems I've same problem : Adding assets to this asset is not supported

thanks

this is  my request curl -X POST --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --header 'Accept: application/json' -d '{
  "genomeId": "ddbfb9ba-0dfb-4406-86c2-a5fae330d12d",
  "rackMountPosition": "TOP_MOUNTED",
  "uPosition":0
}' 'https://10.4.4.32/api/v8.1/assets/94fa783e-ddca-4739-93c6-1bc7060e5deb/children'

where 94fa783e-ddca-4739-93c6-1bc7060e5deb is the new rack created id.

But I've same response:  Adding assets to this asset is not supported.

any hint?

Any hint about this problem?

I'm trying to create this kind of server:

in a generic rack:

"type": "rack", "parentId": "54692dd1-1444-4068-b2f3-17e8183e9d23", "children": [], "navigationPath": null, "customProperties": null, "customPropertyTemplates": null, "accessType": "EDIT", "parentType": "storage", "name": "", "installDate": 1521812796923, "shape": [ { "x": 0, "y": 0 }, { "x": 600, "y": 0 }, { "x": 600, "y": 300 }, { "x": 0, "y": 300 }, { "x": 0, "y": 0 } ], "clearance": null, "positionTopLeftX": 0, "positionTopLeftY": 0, "orientation": 0, "cageId": null, "deviceLinks": null, "width": 600, "depth": 300, "barcode": null, "serialNumber": null, "modelName": "Generic Rack", "manufacturer": "Generic", "partNumber": "GEN_RACK", "partNumberId": -308, "weight": 10000, "description": "", "height": 300, "availableUHeight": 6, "maxWeight": 15000, "ductHeight": 0, "ductToCeiling": false, "designPowerLimit": null, "floorMounted": {}, "positionsOrderFromBottomToTop": true, "positionsCountedFromZeroIndex": false, "id": "94fa783e-ddca-4739-93c6-1bc7060e5deb", "stage": "EXISTING"

but this is the response:

 Adding assets to this asset is not supported
