EWS RESTful Gateway documentation for SmartConnector v2.5

[sascha_dubach_b]

Hello Everyone

We need to create an interface between EBO 2023 (and several future EBO versions, very large multi-year project) and a 3rd party FM software.

On https://smartconnectorserver.com/DownloadCenter/Contents/mongoose/v2.4 we can see the document "SmartConnector RESTful EWS Gateway - EcoStruxure Building Operation.pdf" but on  https://smartconnectorserver.com/DownloadCenter/Contents/mongoose/v2.5 the document is missing. Where's the up-to-date version of this document?

Also, wouldn't it be better to talk directly to EWS through SOAP instead of going through a REST gateway?

Hi,

The Document has been added to https://smartconnectorserver.com/DownloadCenter/Contents/mongoose/v2.5.

'talk directly to EWS through SOAP instead of going through a REST gateway':

You could do that, but it is not the recommended way. EWS is intended for internal use within the Schneider ecosystem. It is also more complicated and you need to get the authentication, which is quite confusing. 

But technically it should work. The answer to your question is yes, if you have experience in developing EWS clients.
