        Service Category:
        Service Description:
        Evaluates this Thing's Reporting status based on its strategy.
        Parameters:
        eventName - Name of the event - STRING
        eventTime - Time event is triggered - DATETIME
        source - Name of Thing that triggered event - STRING
        sourceProperty - Soure property - STRING
        eventData - Data used to evaluate presence - INFOTABLE

        This method evaluates if a Thing is reporting Then sets the Connectable read-only properties accordingly: = result of that call = new Date() after the call finished = if isReporting changed, then lastEvaluationTime; otherwise unchanged
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception - if the Thing doesn't have the right Properties, Services, has a Strategy that does not refer to a visible Thing, if the service calls return invalid values, or other exceptional conditions
      • SetReportingStrategy

        @ThingworxExtensionApiMethod(since={8,4})
        public void SetReportingStrategy(java.lang.String strategyThing)
                                                                            throws java.lang.Exception
        Service Category:
        Service Description:
        Set this Thing's reporting strategy.
        Parameters:
        strategyThing - Name of the Strategy Thing - THINGNAME

        This method sets the Strategy used for evaluating if a Reportable is indeed reporting
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception - if the Strategy Thing specified does not exist if the Strategy Thing specified does not extend from ReportingByConnection
      • GetReportingStrategy

        @ThingworxExtensionApiMethod(since={8,4})
        public java.lang.String GetReportingStrategy()
                                                                                        throws InvalidRequestException
        Service Category:
        Service Description:
        Retrieves this Thing's reporting strategy.
        Returns:
        result Name of the Strategy Thing - STRING
        Throws:
        InvalidRequestException - If an error occurs

        A Strategy is a Thing that represents an algorithm to determine if a device is Reporting or not This service exposes the Strategy that this Thing uses for Reporting evaluation, which is stored in a config table
