System Profile Change Example

<!--MsgId is the unique id of the message being sent --> <!--ProfileId is the unique id of the system profile which will become activated --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <SystemProfileCommand MsgTimeStamp="2019-02-01T12:14:01+00:00" MsgId="1" ProfileId="1" xmlns="ICDNAV001-SystemProfileCommand"> <Sender SenderId="SenderId1" NetworkAddress="NetworkAddress1" NetworkPort="1" /> </SystemProfileCommand>

System Profile Command Element

The system profile command provides the ability to change the active system profile in Witness, based on the provided profile Id. This means profiles can be changed in response to external events, for example, weather sensors can be used to dynamically change the sensitivity of the system as the weather conditions change.

Description

Type

Notes

MsgId

Unique message Id

Long

This must be globally unique across all message types 

MsgTimeStamp

Date and time that the message was sent

DateTime



ProfileId

Id of the profile which is required to become active

Integer

This is the Id of the system profile that will become the active system profile. It is the UserId of the profile as configured in Witness

Network Sender Element

Each incoming message can include an optional Sender element. This must include the IP address and port that the client is using to send instructions.

If the Sender element is included the NetworkAddress value will be checked against the subscriber IP address and the command rejected if they do not match. 

In addition the Sender element is included in the Command Reply. This is a duplicate of the incoming details (i.e. the subscribers IP address and port). The subscriber can use this to verify that they authored the message.

If a message contains the profile Id of the currently active profile then the profile change message will be ignored and no action taken and the message response will indicate a failure.


Safety is everything.
