SBO REST Provider cannot read objects in an AS

[SteveGregory]

Is there a way to read points from within a function block program, via the SmartConnector SboEwsRest Provider? I can't seem to read the points, even though they are public.

Also, when using Get/Values to get all values that match a filter criteria, only values on the ES seem to come up in the results. Should / Does the interface also search the automation servers?

Hi Steve,

I took a look and it seems we were never searching in subservers, and only the parent. I will be releasing a new version of Smart Connector in the next day or so that has the fix for this.

As far as seeing properties of Menta programs, I honestly have no idea if this works, or if the SboEwsRestProvider was designed for this to work either. I will take a look and get back you on that in the next day or two.

Just a note. Points in Menta are actually properties and not objects. Pretty sure it’s different for Function Block.

[Benji]

Nope, also in Function Block points are actually properties, not objects.

[SteveGregory]

I guess that would explain why they don’t have an ‘object type’ property. The question is then, can the SboEwsRestProvider read properties of a function block program?

Hi Steve,

Smart Connector version 2.4.7 was released with the fix for the issue with the GET /Values and /Trends only returning objects from the ES. See the release notes for more details. Smart Connector Release Notes.pdf

Will download and try version 2.4.7. Thanks Jeff.

Version 2.4.7 fixed my issue. The get/values and get/trends now returns values from the automation servers also. Thanks Jeff
