Thing is not enabled even though EnableThing/RestartThing is called

cmelancon — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 02:47:45 GMT

I am trying to create a DataTable from a service.

try { var thingParams = { name: "MyDataTable", description: undefined /* STRING */, thingTemplateName: "DataTable" /* THINGTEMPLATENAME */, tags: undefined /* TAGS */ }; // no return Resources["EntityServices"].CreateThing(thingParams); Things["MyDataTable"].EnableThing(); Things["MyDataTable"].RestartThing(); Things["MyDataTable"].SetProjectName({ projectName: "MyProject" }); Things["MyDataTable"].SetDataShape({ name: "MyDataShape" }); } catch (err) { logger.error(me.name + " Service DataTableHelper.WriteToDataTable has an error on line #" + err.lineNumber + ": " + err.message); }

I get the foolowing error:

DemoFileHelper Service DataTableHelper.WriteToDataTable has an error on line #14: com.thingworx.common.exceptions.InvalidRequestException: Thing [MyDataTable] is not enabled

Line 14 is the one where I set the Project Name.

Any help would be welcomed.

I have moved the setDataShape declaration a bit higher and it seemed to work. (changed the datashape and project name with something on my system).

try { var thingParams = { name: "MyDataTable", description: undefined /* STRING */, thingTemplateName: "DataTable" /* THINGTEMPLATENAME */, tags: undefined /* TAGS */ }; // no return Resources["EntityServices"].CreateThing(thingParams); Things["MyDataTable"].EnableThing(); Things["MyDataTable"].SetDataShape({ name: "ad" /* DATASHAPENAME */ }); Things["MyDataTable"].RestartThing(); Things["MyDataTable"].SetProjectName({ projectName: "GitBackup" }); } catch (err) { logger.error(me.name + " Service DataTableHelper.WriteToDataTable has an error on line #" + err.lineNumber + ": " + err.message); }
