we used managed objects so far as fragments associated with the parent managed object (the device). this time we need it in a different scenario where it is not a fragment of an existing device. For example: counting the number of devices in a specific area. is there a workaround to create this managed object without associating with a device? I know we can create a virtual device ID which doesn’t exist but this very manual and not scalable to the number of managed objects we expect. In other words we need EPL to create dynamically a managed object (not a fragment tied to an existing device ID) is it possible?
@GII Would you be able to rephrase your question, or provide some more example of the current solution, and what the problems that you have with it…at the moment it is a little difficult to understand (it also mixes up a few different terms which makes it difficult to follow).
For example, providing the following information might make your post more likely to get people to respond:
- What is your current data model that you’re currently using (provided with an example, not just the description of it)
- What tech are you using now? Plain REST API requests, or EPL, or something else?
- What does “counting the number of device in an area” have to do with managed objects, and fragments? An example of the data model would probably help clarify that.
