OPC UA cannot model Entities

If you try aasx server with parameter -opc, or from AASX Package Explorer export as OPC UA Nodeset.XML, Entities are not created.

Hello,

I can see the list of plugins in its folder when I download the zip file.
But, when I open the AASX explorer, I cannot see the exact list. I see only some of plugins.

Would you please let me know if I need to fix something?

Bests,
Mahdi

This is the transfer of issue
admin-shell/aasx-package-explorer#14
to this repository.

In V3.0RC01 a thumbnail per Asset and thus AAS was introduced.

Hello Team,

first: thanks for all your hard and brilliant work around AAS!

I tried to open an AAS from a .json, but run in an uncaught exception which results in a program termination.

The .json:

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP and kind regards,

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
After adding the Nameplate submodel and Identification submodel via Plugins menu to my AAS, I wanted to add the related ConceptDescriptions via Fix missing CDs button. However, I have got the following error.
[AasxPluginGenericForms] Not able to find appropriate ConceptDescriptions in the GeneralForm option records. Aborting.

Describe the solution you'd like
The related ConceptDescriptions to be added via Fix missing CDs button.

At the moment when links are being used in the AASX Package Explorer i have to manually copy and paste them.
Is it possible to make the links clickable in the AASX Package Explorer?

I try to export my AAS as a xml file. I use for that Export.. -> Export OPC UA nodeset2.xml (via UA server plug-in).
But when i try to execute that command I get error that a .dll file "libuv" was not found.

I do not know what to do, with that information or how to fix it. Is there an other way to exort to xml? Or do i need to add a file to be able to do that?

I use the Version 1.9.8.3 from Mon 08/31/2020.

Kind regards
Chris

Hi there,

in the options file, one can set templates for how ids are generated:

  "TemplateIdAas": "https://example.com/ids/aas/DDDD_DDDD_DDDD_DDDD",
  "TemplateIdAsset": "https://example.com/ids/asset/DDDD_DDDD_DDDD_DDDD",
  "TemplateIdSubmodelInstance": "https://example.com/ids/sm/DDDD_DDDD_DDDD_DDDD",
  "TemplateIdSubmodelTemplate": "https://example.com/ids/sm/DDDD_DDDD_DDDD_DDDD",
  "TemplateIdConceptDescription": "https://example.com/ids/cd/DDDD_DDDD_DDDD_DDDD",

In the enterprise software world, especially in a .NET context, it is best practice to use UUIDs or, in particular, Microsoft's GUIDs for ids.

Hence, it would be great, if you could extend the method Options.GenerateIdAccordingTemplate so that templates such as

  "TemplateIdAas": "https://example.com/ids/aas/G",

are accepted and generate an id like

https://example.com/ids/aas/3ff9a07e1b0f452e803aecb4a210ab86

using the function call Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N").

Describe the bug
I exported several custom submodels via the Export to Generic Forms options, such that I have several .add-options.json files. When I load a Generic Form into a new AAS file, the edit form to insert values contains the wrong properties. Each Generic Form I load contains the same insert options in its form, taken from one of the Generic Forms. So, of the various Generic Forms, only one gives the correct properties in its Edit form.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add the following two files to the Generic Forms Plugin. (remove the .txt suffix, which was necessary to upload here)
   abc.add-options.json.txt
   xyz.add-options.json.txt
2. Open a new AAS, and create a submodel for both Generic Forms.
3. The edit form for both submodels will contain properties 'a' and 'b'.

Expected behavior
Correct behaviour would be that one edit form contains properties 'x' and 'y', while the other contains properties 'a' and 'b'.

Screenshots
In the screenshot you can see that the loaded Generic Forms edit form shows attributes a and b, whereas the submodel properties have idshort 'x' and 'y'. When I enter values in the edit form, properties with idshort 'a' and 'b' are added to the submodel "test1".

Additional context
It seems it is related to the form tag*. I also wonder if this may be intended behaviour, but I should enter additional data to differentiate between the various Generic Forms.

Also, the behaviour is related to the name of the Generic Forms .add-options.json file. If I were to add a third Generic Forms file called aaa.add-options.json, then the properties would be drawn from that file. It seems the properties shown in the Edit form are taken from the alphabetically first Generic Form ordered by filename. Somehow, the standard submodels are excluded even those filesnames are alphabetically first.

• By the way, how is the form tag decided? In this case it's TBD, as in "to be decided"?

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Version: 2020-12-03 alpha

Describe the bug
got an error:
Error: While in user callback (modify repo lambda): Could not find a part of the path 'C:\AasxPackageExplorer 2021-12-03.alpha\eclass'. at at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'a Property of a submodel, that is added via plugins' [e.g. Nameplate]
2. Click on 'Import missing' button that is in front of ConceptDescriptions from eCl@ss
3. See the error in the bottom of the windows

Expected behavior
To assign/import the related eCl@ss

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [Windows 10 Pro]
• Browser [chrome]
• Version [ 87.0.4280.141]

Additional context
The correct IRDI of the property in eCl@ss exist in SemanticId.

Situation:

I use the AASX Package Explorer 2021-02-18.alpha version and work on a 64-bit Windows 7 and 10 machine. I tried to convert any AASX XML sample to an AASX W JSON format, given the error code shown below.

How should I get this format? I tried with all the examples on the server (http://www.admin-shell-io.com/samples/), but the same error and the XML format are still not changed. Even creating a new model with AASX W JSON format is not possible.

Expected results:
I expect to get an AASX in a W JSON format

Actual Results:
When saving the AASX file to AASX W JSON format, a file with XML format is saved, and an error message is returned in the log [1]

If you want to copy an AAS recursively, the explorer creates a new entry with the same count of sub models (based on the source AAS) but the addresses and the name is the every time the same.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. choosing the "Env "AdminstrationShells""
2. Click on 'copy recursively'
3. Select an existing AAS
4. See the incorecct result in the picture

Expected behavior
A new entry for an AAS with the same sub model names and different addresses

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Enumerated data points which allow a limited/predefined list of possible values are pretty common in devices and applications. And Concept Description with Enumerations are supported by the Metamodel of the AAS since version 2.0. However, there is not support in AASX PE for such data points.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Ability to create enum values manually in AASX PE.
• Automatic retrieval and concept description of enum values.

Describe alternatives you've considered
As a quick initial step, the valueList attribute (that is defined by IEC61360 ) can be added to the Concept Descriptions with Template IEC61360

Additional context
valueList in DataSpecificationIEC61630:

We tried to read our example xml files with the aasx package explorer but it does not work correctly. It only shows the AAS but not the Submodels. The error report gives no concrete message only, that the references to the submodels are missing. We checked our file and do not find any problems.

Here is the link to our file:

Here is screenshot of the aasx package explorer with the loaded xml file:

Not specifically.

Describe the solution you'd like
One of the important aspects of a manufacturing object is its security aspect. Fortunately, this aspect is now specified in the details AAS Version 3.0RC01, but not implementable in the AASX Tool. Is there any hope that we would have this feature in the near future?

Describe alternatives you've considered
The security aspect of a manufacturing object has not defined a submodel but as the Security-related attributes of AAS which contained attributes such as Access Control Policy, Permission rules, etc.

Additional context
You can find more information regarding the security aspect of an asset in chapter 5 of the details AAS Version 3.0RC01 specification.

Describe the bug
I had been working on various .aasx files, adding several submodels with properties, collections, and reference elements, and saving and switching between .aasx files. At the moment, I cannot open one of my files because it gives the following error. I included the complete log at the end of this report.

Manually unzipping (with 7-Zip) the aasx file gives a data error for the internal xml file. It has a size of 0kb when unzipped.

To Reproduce
Sadly, I have not been able to reproduce this bug by various combinations of opening and re-opening some files, so I'm uncertain what could have been the problem. I included the aasx file here, in case you can have a more detailed look.
CrashedAASX.zip

Expected behavior
I expect to open the aasx file without throwing errors.

Hello,

What is the AAS spec version currently used in the package explorer? Are there any plans/ current work in progress to support V3.x?
Does the export JSON function uses this spec or something else? @mristin

Thanks.

Let combobox box of category by dependent on the element type

For data elements (Property, MultiLanguaguageProperty, Range etc.) except for files and blobs:
CONSTANT, PARAMETER, VARIABLE
For Concept descriptions IEC61360:
VALUE, PROPERTY, REFERENCE, DOCUMENT, CAPABILITY, RELATIONSHIP, COLLECTION, ENTITY, FUNCTION, EVENT, APPLICATION_CLASS, QUALIFIER, VIEW

Let combobox for dataType of Concept Description

• sorted alphabetically (in combobox, in original order in the enums)
• following values

DATE
STRING
STRING_TRANSLATABLE
INTEGER_MEASURE
INTEGER_COUNT
INTEGER_CURRENCY
REAL_MEASURE
REAL_COUNT
REAL_CURRENCY
BOOLEAN
URL
RATIONAL
RATIONAL_MEASURE
TIME
TIMESTAMP

and extend with (as soon as Specification of Details of AAS is updated):

BINARY
IRDI,
URI (ECLASS hat URL)
HTML5
ICID (The data type ICID_STRING_TYPE may be used for values conforming to IRDI_STRING_TYPE, where the delimiter between RAI and DI is “#” while the delimiter between DI and VI is confined to “##”.)
ISO_29002_IRDI (The data type ISO_29002_IRDI_TYPE may be used for values containing a global identifier that identifies an administrated item in a registry. The structure of this identifier complies with identifier syntax defined in ISO/TS 29002-5. The identifier shall fulfill the requirements specified in ISO/TS 29002-5 for an "international registration data identifier" (IRDI)).

Close this ticket only if:

• combo boxes are updated
• enums in JSON / XML are extended correspondingly

I assume "Getting started" was renamed to "Quick Start" and this is the section you are referring to? At least I do not find a section "Getting started".

The generated XML in the AASX for operations is missing the operationVariable tag level.
Right now, it is

Describe the bug
After copy recursivly with suppl. files, i can't save the AASX-File.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Creating a new File including saving it.
2. Open Auxiliary AASX-File.
3. Copy recursivly with supplementary files a complete AAS.
4. Finding everything what i could hope for: Every Submodel, every Concept Description and Supp. Files are in "(add pending)" and can be found in the "temp" folder.
5. Closing the Auxiliary
6. Saving the file to add the supplementary files (and, of course saving it) is not possible: Neither under the "old" File (Just "save") nor under a new File-Name/in a new directory ("save as"). In the first case, the error message below occurs. In the second case, a stack trace gets reported saying in the end: "Der Teil-URI muss mit einem Schrägstrich beginnen." ("The URI-Part has to start with a Slash"). This leads me to the consideration that i have to insert a filename. But i did this for sure by following the normal way of saving files.

Expected behavior
A saved AASX-file with all suppl. files, submodels and conceptdescription in it.

Screenshots

I'm glad, if someone can help me here.

In EnumerateSearchable()
Check for objType.IsEnum -> then return
Set SearchOptions.maxDepth to 1000 in ToolControlFindReplace.cs:UpdateToOptions()

How can I import a sub model into a open AASX file?
Which format works (JSON, CSV,...)?
May I have a template (JSON-structure, CSV-file)?
Thanks

We have started an initiative to define a digital twin for a material/product.
On this several many measurements can take place. Therefore we would like to define a measuremenTypeList. So we can have a generic set of measurements each categorized by a measurement type. This list of types should have several properties like type, descript, units, etc.

Can someone point us in the right direction?

The AASX Package Explorer "Help/Help on github" references https://github.com/**admin-shell**/aasx-package-explorer/tree/master/help
I expected it to reference some help file on admin-shell**-io**/aasx-package-explorer.

Suggestion:
Move (and update if needed) https://github.com/admin-shell/aasx-package-explorer/blob/master/help/index.md to
https://github.com/admin-shell-io/aasx-package-explorer/help

The OPC format allows relative URIs in relationships, but the aasx-explorer doesn't load an .aasx if it contains a part URI that doesn't start with a forward slash.

We would like to use the Apache OPC library from the POI project in Eclipse BaSyx to build .aasx files. This library uses relative part URIs.
E.g. in the file /_rels/.rels it sets "aasx/aasx-origin" as target instead of "/aasx/aasx-origin" expected by the aasx-explorer.

I've generated a minimal .aasx file with the Apache OPC library test.zip (renamed .zip for GitHub to accept it). It loads if all relative paths in the .rels files are manually replaced by absolute paths. But I think it should also load with the relative paths.

I've tested it with the 2020-12-03 binaries.

Hello everyone,

Describe the bug
Importing a Submodel from Json clears all valueType entries of SubmodelElements (e.g. Property, Range).

To Reproduce
Create a Submodel Json for testing:

1. Create and export a Submodel to Json
   1.1. Create a Submodel with a Property and select any value type
   1.2. Select the Submodel
   1.3. Export the Submodel to Json (File->Export-> Export Submodel to Json)
   1.4. valueType field of Property is correctly set within the Json file

Reproduce the bug:
2. Import a Json Submodel
2.1 Select a Submodel in any project
2.2 Import the previously created Submodel (File->Import-> Import Submodel from Json)
2.3 Value type is empty (exporting this Submodel again leads to empty valueType fields within the Json)

Expected behavior
Value types of SubmodelElements within a Json Submodel shall be imported correctly.

MIHO: I've received this via email

Good Day,

This is regarding AASX package explorer “Save as” feature. This feature provides an option “AASX package files w/ JSON .aasx”, my understanding with this option is that within the AASX container format there would be a json file. But in fact there is an xml file packaged in to the AASX file. I have tried to debug about this, I found that the problem is with the below piece of code from “PackageContainerLocalFile.cs”. The line highlighted in the below code is the one responsible for this action, may be I could be wrong in this.

I sincerely request you to look into this aspect once, If my investigation is correct and If it is ok with you I could create a new branch and push to the github.

        if (IndirectLoadSave)
        {
            // the container or package might be new
            if (!Env.IsOpen || TempFn == null)
            {
                TempFn = CreateNewTempFn(Location, IsFormat);
                Env.SaveAs(TempFn);
            }

                });
            }

                    $"at {AdminShellUtil.ShortLocation(ex)} gave: {ex.Message}");
            }
        }

Hello guys, does AAS Package explorer have a feature so that i can interface it with the asset(Demonstrators robot) using OPC UA and access the robot.

Support to edit the security part of the asset administration shell metamodel.

As described in admin-shell-io/questions-and-answers#7 there is a bug w.r.t. kind of an Asset:
Conformant to Spec. V2.0.1 assetKind it is either Type or Instance. In the moment it is Template and Instance: but this is only true for SubmodelElement and Submodel.
It should also be renamed to assetKind.

(Probably the case because in previous releases there was one abstract Class HasKind for both of the elements...), now Asset is not inheriting from HasKind any longer.

Describe the bug
Hi,

I want to use the MQTT Plugin with the AASx Package Explorer.

When I try to use the cmd line to enable the plugin with " C:\user....\AasxPackageExplorer -dll AasxMqttServer.dll" or " C:\user....\AasxPackageExplorer -dll AasxMqtt\bin\Debug\AasxMqttServer.dll", it doesn't work.

It just open the AASx Package Explorer again.

I appreciate if you can help with this problem.

Thank you!
Ferremientos

I am not able to import the submodels/submodelelements exported from the iec-cdd website as explained in the following screen cast : https://admin-shell-io.com/screencasts/aasx-package-explorer/en/Aasx_PackEx_Tutorial_-_EN_-_52_Import_IEC_CDD_Class_Export.mp4.

I have made sure to copy the xls files into the iec-cdd subdirectory under the AasxPackageExplorer directory.

When trying to import the Submodel no options are provided in the drop down (check image).

Even manually choosing the xls file makes no difference.

I am using the following version of the AASX package explorer

Describe the bug
Temporary File created from MakePackageFileAvailableAsTempFile() or Load() with indirectLoadSave = true should be deleted if they no longer been necessary.

To Reproduce
-Use .aasx-file with supplementary files
-or Load any aasx-file with indirectLoadSave

-See you Temp Folder overflow with many tmp$$$$.aasx files.

• or see the program crash because of no unique temporary file name is available. (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.path.gettempfilename?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=net-5.0#exceptions)

Expected behavior
Temporary file should be deleted at dispose

Describe the bug
Concept Descriptions are not transferred to the Sub-modell when using Generic Forms to create the sub-model.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a sub model manually
2. add concept descriptions
3. export for concept descriptions
4. copy file for general forms folder
5. check created json file; it includes the concept descriptions
6. open AASX Package Explorer
7. create new AAS
8. use PlugIn General Forms to add sub-model
9. select the newly created general forms
10. use the forms to instantiate the sub model
11. the new sub-model has all parameter etc. but no Concept Descriptions

Expected behavior
The new instantiated sub-model references the Concept Description which were provided to the template

Describe the bug
Can't really say if it is a bug or more a implementation problem.
Is it possible to change e.g. the values of properties via the OPC-UA Plugin. I would like to use the inbuild opc-ua server and change property values of the aasx file. However, I always get an error (no write permission?).

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start the OPC-UA Server
2. Check values in UAExpert or any other Program
3. Try and change a value
4. See error: Write to node 'NS3|Numeric|1470' failed [ret = BadNotWritable]

Expected behavior
OPC-UA should accept new value and change the value inside the aasx file.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10

Additional context
I also tried the REST API, and PUT and PUSH operations wouldn't work either (getting OK response, however no changes). But that's another story.
If there is another solution to my problem (e.g. via REST, MQTT etc), I would love to hear about that.

big thanks and
kind regards,

Samed

Describe the bug
After exporting AASX into OPC UA nodeset2.xml the range of my property was not in XML. Is there any example which describes a proper way of defining a rangeof a property?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Expected behavior
I expect that range is defined in OPC UA nodeset2.xml.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: WIN 10

change to "/AasxIntegrationBaseWpf;component/Resources/msg_info.png" an similar
for TextBox, Progressbar

(root cause: moved MessageBox to AasxIntegrationBaseWpf)

Can this be installed on Mac Os Mojave or on any Linux distro?

If so, could you please provide installation steps?

Describe the bug
When I try to export the AASX as i4aas nodeset, it says "mapping types could not be found". Any instructions on adding the types?
I also cant load the Net46AasxServerPlugin for the export as OPC UA nodeset because the documentation seems to be gone.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'File, Export, Export AAS as i4aas nodeset
2. See error "no mapping types"

Expected behavior
Export as nodeset.xml

If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

• OS: Windows 10
• Version AASX Package Explorer 2020-09-16.alpha

Thanks for your amazing package for the AAS. I noticed that your package just provide passive submodels for the AAS. I wonder if you provide a package or add new feature to the AASX-Package to enable active part of AAS. This feature is the importance of adding functionality to AAS.
Thank you once again for the useful package.

Describe the bug
The Tool is hanging and won't be closed by close button. Need to be closed by the Task Manager>End Task
