Getting Projection Objects Using the SCSM SDK ObjectProjectionCriteria Class

Quick sample here.  Let’s say you want to get all the service requests assigned to a particular support group (enum data type property).  No problem!  Use ObjectProjectionCriteria .  That will get you projection objects.  If you want to just get objects you can use the related EnterpriseManagementObjectCriteria class.  ( what is a type projection/projection objects? )

Here are some more details:

Here are some examples that people have put out on the web.

Party on!

Here’s the code for the project if you want to copy it:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration;
using Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Common;

namespace QuerySRsBySupportGroup
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create connection to Managment Server
EnterpriseManagementGroup emg = new EnterpriseManagementGroup("localhost");
//Get the SR Advanced type projection
ManagementPackTypeProjectionCriteria mptpcServiceRequestAdvanced =
new ManagementPackTypeProjectionCriteria("Name ='System.WorkItem.ServiceRequestProjection'");
ManagementPackTypeProjection mptpServiceRequestAdvanced =
emg.EntityTypes.GetTypeProjections(mptpcServiceRequestAdvanced).First<ManagementPackTypeProjection>();
//Get the SR Library MP
ManagementPackCriteria mpcServiceRequestMP =
new ManagementPackCriteria("Name = 'System.WorkItem.ServiceRequest.Library'");
ManagementPack mpServiceRequestLibrary =
emg.ManagementPacks.GetManagementPacks(mpcServiceRequestMP).First<ManagementPack>();
//Get a particular support group enumeration
ManagementPackEnumerationCriteria mpecSupportGroup =
new ManagementPackEnumerationCriteria("Name = 'Enum.cd96b8a5444b41d081e658ee0a90383c'");
ManagementPackEnumeration mpeSupportGroup =
emg.EntityTypes.GetEnumerations(mpecSupportGroup).First<ManagementPackEnumeration>();

//Create the criteria
string strCriteria =
String.Format(
@"<Criteria xmlns="" http://Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Core.Criteria/"" >
<Expression>
<SimpleExpression>
<ValueExpressionLeft>
<Property>$Context/Property[Type='System.WorkItem.ServiceRequest']/SupportGroup$</Property>
</ValueExpressionLeft>
<Operator>Equal</Operator>
< ValueExpressionRight>
<Value>{0}</Value>
</ValueExpressionRight>
</SimpleExpression>
</Expression>
< /Criteria>", mpeSupportGroup.Id.ToString());

//Create the ObjectProjectionCriteria.  Include the MP (mpServiceRequestLibrary) that the type projection seed class is contained in.
ObjectProjectionCriteria opc =
new ObjectProjectionCriteria(strCriteria, mptpServiceRequestAdvanced,mpServiceRequestLibrary, emg);
//Get the SRs
IObjectProjectionReader<EnterpriseManagementObject> oprServiceRequests =
emg.EntityObjects.GetObjectProjectionReader<EnterpriseManagementObject>(opc, ObjectQueryOptions.Default);
//Do whatever you want with them...
foreach (EnterpriseManagementObjectProjection emopServiceRequest in oprServiceRequests)
{
Console.WriteLine(emopServiceRequest.Object.Id);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
