RepairAttempted

Summary

Indicates whether

OpenLNS attempted to repair errors of this

type during the validation.

If you call the Validate

method to initiate a database validation

procedure and set the validationFlags element to

lcaDbValidateAndRepair (1), OpenLNS will attempt to

repair some errors it finds automatically. LNS may not be able

to repair all error types or all the specific instances of an error

type it encounters during the validation. You can use this

property to determine whether OpenLNS attempted to repair a

specific error or a specific error type.
You can determine if OpenLNS was able to repair a specific

instance of an error by reading the Repaired property of the

error’s DatabaseSummaryErrorInstance object.

DataPoint

A DataPoint object represents a single point of data in a LONWORKS network. You can

obtain a data point through any MsgMonitorPoint, NvMonitorPoint, NetworkVariable, or

ConfigProperty object. Once acquired, each data point is implicitly bound to the object from

which it was obtained. This object is referred to as the data point’s source object.
You can then use the data point to read and write to the value of the source object. Each data

point has three properties you can use to read and write to the data point’s value: the

FormattedValue property, the RawValue property, and the Value property. Each of these

properties represents the same value, but each one is formatted differently.
When you read and write to any of these properties, OpenLNS will also read or write the

data point’s source object (i.e. the value of the source object in the OpenLNS database and on
