Values/Create API using the Swagger?

[mike_meirovitz]

 Hi,

I am trying to create a value (analog or digital) using the Swagger interface.

Can someone provide an example for this API?

{
"Name": "CurrentValue",
"Description": "my description",
"Type": "DateTime",
"Writeable": "ReadOnly",
"Forceable": "NotForceable",
"State": "Good",
"Unit": "Amper",
"Value": "1",
"ParentId": "/Server 1/Values",
"Id": "string"
}

No matter what values I try, I get this response:

{ "Message": "Create for Value is not allowed" }

Thanks.

Mike

Hi Michael,

You are getting this error  because you are not able to create objects with the SoapEwsRestProvider. The Soap EWS Rest Provider uses standard EWS calls behind the scenes to interact with any EWS system, however in EWS there is no support for creating/ deleting actualy objects in the system.

If you use the SBO Ews Rest Provider, you will be able to create basic object types in the system. What is the requirement you are trying to meet.

Best Regards,
