# SDK Alarm Query Approach
|
||||
|
||||
## Discovery Summary
|
||||
|
||||
After extracting and analyzing the GeViSoft .NET SDK API documentation (2403 HTML files from CHM), I found the correct approach to read action mappings from the live GeViSoft instance.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Finding
|
||||
|
||||
**SetupClient functions are NOT exposed in the .NET SDK**. The SDK documentation explicitly states:
|
||||
|
||||
> "The SetupClient functions are used by GeViSet to change the server setup. They are **usually not of interest for SDK developers**."
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, the SDK provides **State Query** actions to read alarm configurations.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Solution: State Queries
|
||||
|
||||
Action mappings in GeViSoft are stored as **Alarms**. We can query them using these state query actions:
|
||||
|
||||
### Available Query Actions
|
||||
|
||||
| Action | Description (German → English) | Purpose |
|
||||
|--------|-------------------------------|---------|
|
||||
| `GeViSQ_GetFirstAlarm` | Liefert die Information zu dem ersten Alarm | Get first alarm information |
|
||||
| `GeViSQ_GetNextAlarm` | Liefert die Information zu dem naechsten Alarm | Get next alarm information |
|
||||
| `GeViSQ_GetAlarms` | Liefert die Information zum bestimmten Alarm | Get specific alarm by ID |
|
||||
| `GeViSQ_GetAlarmsByName` | Liefert die Information zum bestimmten Alarm | Get specific alarm by name |
|
||||
| `GeViDBQ_CreateAlarmQuery` | Startet eine Abfrage ueber die Alarmtabelle | Start query over alarm table |
|
||||
|
||||
### How to Enumerate All Alarms
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
// 1. Create query for first alarm
|
||||
var query = new GeViSQ_GetFirstAlarm(
|
||||
initActiveOnly: false, // false = all alarms (not just active)
|
||||
initEnabledOnly: false // false = both enabled and disabled
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// 2. Send query to GeViServer
|
||||
await geviDatabase.SendMessageAsync(query);
|
||||
|
||||
// 3. Register callback to receive answer
|
||||
geviDatabase.OnNewGeViSA_FirstAlarm += HandleFirstAlarmAnswer;
|
||||
|
||||
// 4. Iterate through remaining alarms
|
||||
geviDatabase.OnNewGeViSA_NextAlarm += HandleNextAlarmAnswer;
|
||||
|
||||
// In handlers, send GeViSQ_GetNextAlarm to get subsequent alarms
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Plan
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Alarm Query Service (C# SDK Bridge)
|
||||
|
||||
Create `AlarmQueryService.cs`:
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
public class AlarmQueryService
|
||||
{
|
||||
private readonly GeViDatabaseWrapper _database;
|
||||
private readonly List<AlarmInfo> _alarmCache = new();
|
||||
|
||||
public async Task<List<AlarmInfo>> GetAllAlarmsAsync()
|
||||
{
|
||||
_alarmCache.Clear();
|
||||
|
||||
// Send first alarm query
|
||||
var query = new GeViSQ_GetFirstAlarm(false, false);
|
||||
await _database.SendMessageAsync(query);
|
||||
|
||||
// Wait for answers (with timeout)
|
||||
// Answers arrive via callbacks
|
||||
|
||||
return _alarmCache;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
private void HandleFirstAlarmAnswer(GeViSA_FirstAlarmEventArgs e)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// Parse alarm data
|
||||
var alarm = ParseAlarmData(e);
|
||||
_alarmCache.Add(alarm);
|
||||
|
||||
// Request next alarm
|
||||
var nextQuery = new GeViSQ_GetNextAlarm();
|
||||
_database.SendMessageAsync(nextQuery);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
private void HandleNextAlarmAnswer(GeViSA_NextAlarmEventArgs e)
|
||||
{
|
||||
if (e.HasMoreAlarms)
|
||||
{
|
||||
var alarm = ParseAlarmData(e);
|
||||
_alarmCache.Add(alarm);
|
||||
|
||||
// Request next
|
||||
var nextQuery = new GeViSQ_GetNextAlarm();
|
||||
_database.SendMessageAsync(nextQuery);
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Identify Action Mapping Alarms
|
||||
|
||||
Not all alarms are action mappings. Need to filter by:
|
||||
- Alarm type/category
|
||||
- Input action field presence
|
||||
- Output actions field presence
|
||||
|
||||
**Example alarm structure** (from GeViDB.mdb):
|
||||
```
|
||||
ID: 12345
|
||||
Name: "Motion Detection Auto-Route"
|
||||
Type: "Action Mapping" (or similar type ID)
|
||||
InputAction: "VMD_Start(101038)"
|
||||
OutputActions: ["CrossSwitch(101038, 1, 0)"]
|
||||
Enabled: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Update ActionMappingHandler
|
||||
|
||||
Modify `ActionMappingHandler.cs`:
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
public class ActionMappingHandler
|
||||
{
|
||||
private readonly AlarmQueryService _alarmQuery;
|
||||
|
||||
public async Task<List<ActionMappingConfig>> GetAllActionMappingsAsync()
|
||||
{
|
||||
// Query all alarms from GeViServer
|
||||
var allAlarms = await _alarmQuery.GetAllAlarmsAsync();
|
||||
|
||||
// Filter to only action mapping type alarms
|
||||
var actionMappings = allAlarms
|
||||
.Where(IsActionMapping)
|
||||
.Select(MapToActionMappingConfig)
|
||||
.ToList();
|
||||
|
||||
return actionMappings;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
private bool IsActionMapping(AlarmInfo alarm)
|
||||
{
|
||||
// Filter logic:
|
||||
// - Has input action
|
||||
// - Has output actions
|
||||
// - Type indicates it's an action mapping
|
||||
return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(alarm.InputAction) &&
|
||||
alarm.OutputActions?.Any() == true;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Callback Registration
|
||||
|
||||
Need to investigate:
|
||||
1. What answer types are returned by these queries
|
||||
2. How to register callbacks for alarm answers
|
||||
3. What fields are available in the answer objects
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Find alarm answer event types** - Search for `GeViSA_FirstAlarm`, `GeViSA_NextAlarm` event args
|
||||
2. **Understand alarm data structure** - What fields are available?
|
||||
3. **Test query execution** - Send a GetFirstAlarm query and inspect the response
|
||||
4. **Implement full enumeration** - Iterate through all alarms
|
||||
5. **Filter for action mappings** - Identify which alarms are action mappings
|
||||
6. **Map to gRPC model** - Convert alarm data to ActionMappingConfig
|
||||
|
||||
## Advantages of This Approach
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Uses official SDK API (not direct database access)
|
||||
✅ Reads LIVE data from GeViServer (not stale database copy)
|
||||
✅ Same data that GeViSet would see
|
||||
✅ Respects GeViServer's locking and transaction handling
|
||||
✅ Can receive real-time updates via alarm events
|
||||
|
||||
## Questions to Resolve
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Answer event types**: What are the exact event arg types for alarm query answers?
|
||||
2. **Alarm fields**: What properties are available on alarm answer objects?
|
||||
3. **Action mapping identification**: How to distinguish action mapping alarms from other alarm types?
|
||||
4. **Write operations**: How to create/update/delete alarms (action mappings)?
|
||||
5. **Real-time updates**: Can we subscribe to alarm change notifications?
