Code Examples

# Generate the object structure for a new property value object
property_value_data = system.mes.location.newPropertyValue()

# Define property value details
property_value_data['locationId'] = system.mes.location.getLocation('DairyCo')['id']
property_value_data['propertyId'] = system.mes.location.getProperty('Cows')['id']
property_value_data['dataType'] = 'Int' # Must be the same data type as the property
property_value_data['value'] = 100

# Validate location property value parameters
validation_errors = system.mes.location.validatePropertyValue(**property_value_data)

if len(validation_errors) > 0:
    print('Validation errors found:', validation_errors)
else:
    print('Location property value parameters are valid.')
