Where are sensor IDs stored?

I am trying to find the sensor ID of a specific sensor in DCE so I can call it using SOAP but it doesn't seem to be in any of the columns. Is this a value I need to assign or am I looking in the wrong place?

To clarify I need the ID to use in the following field:

<isx:ISXCElementID>?</isx:ISXCElementID>

Thank you

Hi Neil,

First, you need to have the ID for the device. The following SOAP request should get you a list of devices discovered on your DCE server.

http://<dce_server>/integration/services/ISXCentralDeviceService_v2_0

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:isx="http://www.apc.com/stdws/xsd/ISXCentralDevices-v2">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<isx:getAllDevicesRequest>

<isx:locale>?</isx:locale>
</isx:getAllDevicesRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Your response should be a sequence of <ns2:ISXCDevice>. The Device ID you need is enclosed in <ns2:id> tags.

Once you have that, you can use this next SOAP request to get a list of sensors for a given device:

http://<dce_server>/integration/services/ISXCentralSensorService_v2_0

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

Your response should be a series of <ns2:ISXCSensor>, and again, the sensor ID you need is enclosed in <ns2:id> tags.

Hope this answers your question.

Regards,

Glenn Martin
