Central Ignition Gateway v. 8.1 getting tag configuration from a version 7.9 Edge

mark.benedicto · August 25, 2021, 4:16am

Hi,

I'm trying to execute system.tag.getConfiguration(tagpath_of_v7.9_edge_gateway, False) on a version 8.1 Ignition gateway. However, I'm getting the error below. Is there a way to sort this out?

Buried in there is your answer, unfortunately.

Hi Kevin, is there another way of getting tag datatype from an older gateway? Correct me if I’m wrong, but system.tag.getConfiguration is not editing the tags. I wonder why I’m getting “Tag editing is not available…”.

Cheers.

It’s less about editing and more about being wholly unable to deal with adapting the way tags are defined in 7 vs 8 via in the GAN services. There’s a bunch of operations that all fail with the same message, even if it’s a little inaccurate in this case.

If you just need the datatype for a single (or multiple) tag maybe something like this will work:

system.tag.readBlocking(["[default]TestInt.dataType"])

(append .dataType to the end of the Tag Paths, basically)
