RMS Enterprise - NetLinx Programmer’s Guide

The following code snippet provides an example of registering asset metadata properties. A final submission method call is

required to submit the queued asset metadata properties to the RMS server.

// this is a new asset registration, register all

// asset metadata properties now.

RmsAssetMetadataEnqueueBoolean(assetClientKey,

'touch.panel.g4',

'G4 Enabled',

panelInfo.isG4Panel);

RmsAssetMetadataEnqueueBoolean(assetClientKey,

'touch.panel.headless',

'Headless',

panelInfo.isHeadlessPanel);

RmsAssetMetadataEnqueueBoolean(assetClientKey,

'touch.panel.dockable',

'Dockable',

panelInfo.hasDock);

RmsAssetMetadataEnqueueBoolean(assetClientKey,

'touch.panel.battery',

'Battery',

panelInfo.hasBattery);

// submit metadata for registration now

RmsAssetMetadataSubmit(assetClientKey);
