⚠️ SDK Wrapper Limitation

The Challenge

The native GeViScope SDK (C++) has the action mapping state queries documented:

• CSQGetActionMappingTable
• CSQSetActionMappingTable
• CSAActionMappingTable

However, the .NET SDK wrapper (GEUTEBRUECK.GeViSoftSDKNET.ActionsWrapper) does not expose these classes yet.

Our Solution

We implemented placeholder methods that:

1. Follow the correct SDK pattern
2. Throw NotImplementedException with helpful error messages
3. Include TODO comments showing exactly what needs to be done
4. Provide graceful fallback to alarm query workaround

Example:

private GeViMessage CreateActionMappingTableQuery()
{
    // TODO: Once SDK wrapper exposes the action mapping state query classes, use:
    // return new GeViSQ_GetActionMappingTable();

    throw new NotImplementedException(
        "The SDK wrapper does not yet expose GeViSQ_GetActionMappingTable. " +
        "This needs to be added to the GEUTEBRUECK.GeViSoftSDKNET.ActionsWrapper.StateQueries namespace.");
}

📋 What's Next

Option 1: Contact Geutebruck Support (Recommended)

Best for production readiness

1. Email Geutebruck support requesting .NET wrapper update
2. Provide them with:
   • gevisoft-sdk-reference.md (shows what we need)
   • Native SDK class names (CSQGetActionMappingTable, etc.)
   • Our implementation (shows we're ready to use it)

Option 2: Build C++/CLI Wrapper

Best for immediate progress

Create a thin C++/CLI wrapper that:

1. References native GeViScope SDK DLLs directly
2. Wraps only the action mapping state queries
3. Exposes to .NET via C++/CLI interop

Option 3: Continue with Workaround

Best for MVP/demo

1. Use alarm query workaround (already working)
2. Document limitation in API responses
3. Upgrade to full state queries when SDK available

---

🧪 Testing Plan

Unit Tests (When SDK Available)

[Fact]
public async Task GetActionMappingTable_ReturnsValidData()
{
    var stateQueryHandler = new StateQueryHandler(dbWrapper, logger);
    var result = await stateQueryHandler.GetActionMappingTableAsync();

    Assert.NotNull(result);
    Assert.NotNull(result.Mappings);
}

[Fact]
public async Task SaveActionMappings_WritesToGeViServer()
{
    var mappings = new List<ActionMappingConfig> { /* test data */ };
    bool success = await actionMappingHandler.SaveActionMappingsAsync(mappings);

    Assert.True(success);
}

Integration Test (With Live GeViServer)

1. Connect to GeViServer
2. Read current action mappings
3. Modify one mapping
4. Save back to GeViServer
5. Read again and verify changes persisted

• ✅ Comprehensive error handling
• ✅ Detailed logging at all levels
• ✅ Graceful degradation (falls back to workaround)
• ✅ Clear separation of concerns
• ✅ Well-documented with inline comments
• ✅ Thread-safe cache management

Areas for Improvement

• ⚠️ Needs actual SDK wrapper classes (external dependency)
• ⏭️ Needs unit test coverage
• ⏭️ Needs integration testing with live GeViServer

💡 Key Technical Decisions

1. State Query Approach

Decision: Use GeViServer state queries for action mappings Rationale: This is the documented, official SDK method (see SDK docs page 414) Alternative Rejected: Continue with alarm query workaround (not sustainable)

2. Cache vs. Source of Truth

Decision: GeViServer is source of truth, local cache for statistics only Rationale: Ensures consistency, allows multiple clients Alternative Rejected: In-memory storage (Phase 1 approach)

3. Backward Compatibility

Decision: Maintain alarm query fallback until SDK wrapper available Rationale: Ensures existing functionality works Alternative Rejected: Breaking change requiring SDK immediately

4. Error Handling

Decision: NotSupportedException with helpful messages Rationale: Clear communication about SDK limitation Alternative Rejected: Silent failure or generic exception

📊 Metrics

Lines of Code

• StateQueryHandler.cs: +169 lines (new methods + models)
• ActionMappingHandler.cs: ~80 lines changed (refactored to use state queries)
• Documentation: +1,200 lines (comprehensive guides)

Test Coverage

• Current: 0% (no tests written yet)
• Target: 80% for action mapping code

Performance

• Expected: <200ms for read operations (cached)
• Expected: <500ms for write operations (state query to GeViServer)

🎓 Lessons Learned

What Worked Well

1. Documentation-first approach: Extracting SDK docs before coding saved time
2. Placeholder pattern: Allows code structure to be ready while waiting for SDK
3. Graceful degradation: Maintains functionality with fallback approach

Challenges

1. SDK wrapper limitations: .NET wrapper doesn't expose all native SDK features
2. Documentation format: CHM files required extraction to be searchable

Best Practices Applied

1. Followed existing code patterns (EnumerateCameras/EnumerateMonitors)
2. Comprehensive logging for troubleshooting
3. Clear error messages for developers
4. Maintained backward compatibility
