Get EBO values(Not Ews Value) to 3rd party

[ahmet191]

Hi,

I saw many topics but i found a few information on every post. What i have found is here;
1- MongooseEwsRestProvider can bulk retrieve data. It is really good but we need to provide EWS Id and only Ews data can be retrieved. EWS source is not EBO. It is already different server. It is really good solution for EWS but not for EBO what i saw.
2-SboEwsRestProvider has already known issues and not supported for some versions. I had issue with Mongoose.Csp.dll file and licence and didn't push this option. Many people already mentioned this option has many problems.
3-SoapEwsRestProvider this option adviced for many solution and very stable what people generally saying. So, i am trying to go deep in this option but i still don't know what i am looking is possible or not. If experienced someone could enlight me about what i am trying is possible or not, i will be appriciate so much.

What i am trying to is get Ebo Values from EBO server(Not EWS values or not from ews server). I tried to give EBO server IP and port number for Soap Rest provider server address but username and password didn't match. I don't know if it is possible but i tried. Any advice?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Carlotta,

For my question, i referred EBO as EcoStruxure Building Operation. Thanks for your answer though

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to read EBO values via a REST API right? If that is the case, then you would use the SoapEwsRestProvider which will read the values from EBO using the EWS server in EBO. It does not support 'bulk retrieval' (which is a feature that allows you to request any value matching a certain criteria). You either need to request specific values or values in a container. This EwsRestProvider will work with any EWS Server, e.g. PME or PSO. 

The SboEwsRestProvider provides the same functions, but uses a combination of EWS and CSP to integrate to EBO only and facilitates some additiona features, like bulk retrieval, however it is no longer supported past EBO v3.1.

The MongooseEwsRest provider is for integrating to Mongoose EWS servers created in the SmartConnector framework, usually by custom processors.

P.S. when configuring the SoapRestProvider for EBO, you should enter http://<ipaddressOfEsOrAs>/EcoStruxure/DataExchange as the server id (all case sensitive). Also make sure EWS is enabled and http is not re-directed to https in EBO control panel. Unless you want to use HTTPS, in which case you need the requried certificates in place for it to work.

Thanks for reply. What i have learned was also same. You have confirmed. I needed bulk retrieve but it is not possible. So, i have to discover values and retrieve values via SoapEwsRestProvider.
