Does DCE provide web service to return sensorID for a device?

The current web service can return all the device ID using the "getAllDevices" Request to get the device ID. However, in the ISXCentralSensorService, there is no service request available to get the sensorID using the device ID. This makes the getSensorData Request extremely difficult and always resulted in returning Invild ID by DCE.

If you know the deviceID you want to fetch all sensors for, you can do the following:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:isx="http://www.apc.com/stdws/xsd/ISXCentralSensors-v2" xmlns:isx1="http://www.apc.com/stdws/wsdl/ISXCentralSensors-v2"> <soapenv:Header/> <soapenv:Body> <isx:getSensorsForDeviceRequest> <isx:ISXCElementID>--deviceID--</isx:ISXCElementID> </isx:getSensorsForDeviceRequest> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope>

If there's a specific sensor type you want to get for that same device, you do the following as well:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:isx="http://www.apc.com/stdws/xsd/ISXCentralSensors-v2" xmlns:isx1="http://www.apc.com/stdws/wsdl/ISXCentralSensors-v2"> <soapenv:Header/> <soapenv:Body> <isx:getSensorsForDeviceRequest> <isx:ISXCElementID>--deviceID--</isx:ISXCElementID> <isx:ISXCSensorType>--sensorType--</isx:ISXCSensorType> </isx:getSensorsForDeviceRequest> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope

Substituting in your deviceID and sensorType respectively.

You can then process the return to get the sensorID to make your call with getSensorData.

Spot on, this can supplement the Web service guide. thanks

Glad to help.

If you're querying more than three sensors you should use the getMultipleDataSensor method:

https://sxwhelpcenter.ecostruxureit.com/display/public/UADCE725/Sensor+Service+Methods#SensorService...

Example:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:isx="http://www.apc.com/stdws/xsd/ISXCentralSensors-v2" xmlns:isx1="http://www.apc.com/stdws/wsdl/ISXCentralSensors-v2"> <soapenv:Header/> <soapenv:Body> <isx:getMultipleSensorDataRequest> <isx:ArrayOfISXCElementID> <isx1:string>--sensorID--</isx1:string> <isx1:string>--sensorID--</isx1:string> <isx1:string>--sensorID--</isx1:string> </isx:ArrayOfISXCElementID> </isx:getMultipleSensorDataRequest> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope>

...just keep adding elements as needed for all the sensorID's you have.

DCE's web service doesn't take to cursoring very kindly so if you can aggregate the list of sensors you want this call will save you some headaches.
