Abstract

This article provides all the needed information to learn and understand the WCF SilverlightTools documentation.

This WCF web service handles all the SilverlightTools related operations. The following methods are available:

GetEvents(string sessionId, string clientId, string userName, bool isDomainUser, EventFilter filter, int millisecondsTimeOut)

This method follows the WEBfactory 2010 Security Protocol.

Syntax

GetEvents(string sessionId, string clientId, string userName, bool isDomainUser, EventFilter filter, int millisecondsTimeOut);

Description

Retrieves all alarm events based on the provided filter and parameters

Parameters

  • sessionId (string) - the unique ID of the session, returned by the connect() method

  • clientId (string) - the user defined unique ID of the client from which the web service is called

  • userName (string) - the name of the WEBfactory 2010 defined user in context of which the method is called

  • isDomainUser (bool) - true if the WEBfactory 2010 defined user is an Active Directory user
