<![CDATA[Help with Java API]]>Hello, I am trying write a simple Java program to help automate some tasks, and I am having some difficulty working with the API.  I wrote this test program:

// NetXMS API Version 2.0.4

import org.netxms.client.*;
import org.netxms.base.*;
import org.netxms.client.objects.*;

public class xmstool
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        
        try
        {
            NXCSession s = new NXCSession("NetXMS server");
            s.connect();
            s.login("user", "password");
            
            if(s.isConnected())
            {
                System.out.println("Connected");
            }
            else
            {
                System.out.println("Not connected");
            }
            
            AbstractObject node = s.findObjectByName("name of node");
            
            if(node == null)
            {
                System.out.printf("Did not find node\n");
            }
                        
        } catch(Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println("Fail");
            
        }
    }
}

I the program runs, and connects to the server, but I am not able to get a valid node object no matter what name I search for.  Am I missing something? Andrew

Just a side note:
If you just need to modify GeoLocation data, consider using just a NXSL script, the "Node" object in NXSL has methods for GeoLocation retrieval and manipulation.

The 'setGeoLocation' method doesn't seem to work in NXSL, but I was able to successfully use a simple Java program to export the node names with their latitude and longitude from an older NetXMS server to a newer one.  Thank you for all your help!  Andrew

final NXCObjectModificationData md = new NXCObjectModificationData(object.getObjectId());
GeoLocation location = GeoLocation.parseGeoLocation(latitude.getText(), longitude.getText());
md.setGeolocation(location);

final NXCSession session = (NXCSession)ConsoleSharedData.getSession();
session.modifyObject(md);

You need to call "s.syncObjects();" after login, so it syncs server objects to the local client.

Also, please use [code] tags when pasting code next time 🙂

THANK YOU!!! that was the pierce to the puzzle I was looking for, and I will use the code tag in the future.

Second question, I see a getGeolocation() method for getting the geolocation, but how does one go about setting the geolocation?  Andrew
