Request

Perl SDK request are made to do callback on Nimsoft probes.

Find an example on how to handle request response Here

nimRequest(szHostname, iProbePort, szCallback, pdsData)

Send a request over the Nimsoft Bus to a server. This function does not traverse hub tunnels, because it attempts a direct connection to the given IP/port. A firewalled environment causes difficulties.

my ($RC, $pdsRET) = nimRequest("robotName", 48000, "get_info", Nimbus::PDS->new()->data);

Probes with fixed port

Retrieve robot name

If you want to retrieve the current (local) uim agent, use the nimGet API.

my ($RC, $Robotname) = nimGetVarStr(NIMV_ROBOTNAME);
if ($RC != NIME_OK) {
    my $nimError = nimError2Txt($RC);
    die "Unable to get the current UIM Robot name, Error ($RC): $nimError\n"
}

nimNamedRequest(szAddr, szCallback[, pdsData])

Send a named request over the Nimsoft Bus to a server. This function works through Hub Tunnels, because the routing of messages is up to the Hub.

my ($RC,$RES) = nimNamedRequest(
    "/DOMAIN/HUB-NAME/ROBOT-NAME/controller",
    "get_info",
    Nimbus::PDS->new()->data
);

Note If you create your PDS with Nimbus::PDS you have to put $PDS->data in the callback request to take in account the PDS correctly.
