DMASTString

DMASTString is an object used within a service template configuration to dynamically create aspects of the generated services, for example "Child element - [data:Data Item Name] - [element:1:title]"

This is parsed into:

• A template string, e.g. "Child element - {0} - {1}"

• An array of ordered placeholders (DMASTPlaceholder).

The following kinds of placeholders can be used:

• DMASTDataPlaceholder: Placeholder referring to input data. Consists of:

  • Name (string): The name of the placeholder.

  • Type (DMASTType): The type of input data: Input, ServiceProperty, SLAProperty or Special.

• DMASTElementPlaceholder: Placeholder referring to an element in the generated service that uses DMASTElementData:

  • DMASTChildElement: The placeholder refers to a child element. Consists of:

    • ChildID (integer): The ID of the child element.

    • Data (DMASTChildData):

      • DMASTChildInfo: The placeholder refers to the info of the child element. Contains a field key (DMASTChildInfoKey), which can be Name, Key or Title.

      • DMASTChildField: The placeholder refers to a field of the child element. Contains a Name (string) field.

      • DMASTElementInfo: The placeholder refers to the element info of the child element. This can be a property or a parameter, and is defined in the same way as DMASTCustomElement (see below).

    • DMASTCustomElement: The placeholder refers to a property or a parameter of a custom element. Consists of:

      • DataMinerID

      • ElementID

      • Data (DMASTElementProperty), consisting of a Name (string) or a Parameter (DMASTElementParameter).

        • DMASTElementParameter in turn consists of a ParameterID (int) and Index (DMASTString, without placeholders filled in).
