Hello all,
I have a project to migrate an old scada system to Ignition. The idea is to export the old scada views and variables in a database then create the new project in Ignition.
Let us assume that the database is correctly filled with all needed information.
I can create tags from variables list by using system.tag.addTag(). I can also instanciate templates in an existing window by using com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.components.template
Problem : I am not able to create a new Window in a project. I had a look in the Programmer’s Guide (Chapter 4) and figured that I needed to create a project Resource.
Here is an extract from my code :
from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.project import ProjectResource
context = getContext(event)
newResourceId = context.getLockManager().newResourceId()
windowByte = event.source.parent.getComponent('Table').data.getValueAt(0,"CONTENT")
try:
dataNewWindow = ProjectResource(newResourceId, 'fpmi', 'window', 'WindowTEST',4,windowByte)
context.updateResource(dataNewWindow)
except Exception, err:
print "ERROR", str(err)
context.getLockManager().releaseLock(newResourceId)the getContext function is defined here. Thank you Nick for sharing.
Now I’m stuck with the last argument of ProjectResource(). I can not figure what to set this argument to. I have tried so far:
[ul]
[li] String containing pasted code of a designer copied window[/li]
[li] String from a BLOB in a database containing different part of the previous string (from all to only CDATA content)[/li]
[li] Byte Array from a dataSet containing the previous BLOB.[/li]
[li] Empty array[/li][/ul]
My question is : What does the ProjectResource constructor expect for its byte[] data argument?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards.
