Hi,

I wrote this code to set a value to a specific tag and it works. 😃

[color=#0000BF]writes.add(new BasicWriteRequest\<\>(TagPathParser.parse(se.tagPath),se.value));  
context.getTagManager().write(writes, null, true);  
[/color]

unfortunately, I can’t find how to set the quality of the tag. ☹

Can you help me?

BR

You can supply a QualifiedValue to the write request.

A convenient subclass, BasicQualifiedValue, should make this fairly easy. You can use your own Quality implementation or one from the DataQuality enum.

Thanks for you answer but I did that and that seems not well:

[color=#0000FF]writes.add(new BasicWriteRequest\<\>(tagPath, se.getBasicQualifiedValue()));  
context.getTagManager().write(writes, null, true)[/color]

where se is an SimulEvent like :

[color=#0000FF]public class SimulEvent {

```
public String tagPath;
public String ts;
public EventType type;
public double value;
private DataQuality quality;

```

public BasicQualifiedValue getBasicQualifiedValue(){  
BasicQualifiedValue bqv = new BasicQualifiedValue();  
bqv.setValue(this.value);  
bqv.setQuality((Quality)this.quality);  
return bqv;  
}  
}[/color]

Have you got a complete exemple for me?

best regards

The DataQuality type has enumerations to represent different quality values. ie. DataQuality.GOOD\_DATA or DataQuality.ACCESS\_DENIED.

Check out the javadocs for com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.sqltags.model.types.DataQuality to get all of them.

When you set the quality of your qualified tag, you need to set it to a specific quality enumeration.

bqv.setQuality(DataQuality.GOOD\_DATA);

See if that gets you any closer.
