Create a client in order to connect to the Metasys server and issue functional calls. To create a client, use the following GUID method. When you create the client, choose from the following optional parameters to suit your requirements.
GUID method
var client = new MetasysClient("hostname");API version
If your server is not a 10.1 Metasys server or later, the library will not function correctly. The version parameter takes in the API version enumeration value that defaults to the most current release of Metasys. For Metasys 11.0 the API is v3. For Metasys 10.1 the API is v2. Version parameter: apiVersion.
To change the API version or the hostname after creating a client, use the following method. If you change one of these properties, the system resets the access token and you need to login again.
// Changing Api version after creating a client
var client = new MetasysClient("hostname",version: ApiVersion.v3);
client.Version = ApiVersion.v2;
// Changing Metasys Server after creating a client
var client = new MetasysClient("hostname");
client.Hostname = "WIN2016-VM2";
Language for localization
To set the language for localization, specify the country and region with a culture information object. The default culture is en-US. Culture parameter: cultureInfo
To create a client for a 11.0 Metasys server with Italian translations of values, use the following method.
CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo("it-IT");
var client = new MetasysClient(hostname, true, ApiVersion.v3, culture);Transport layer security (TLS) certificate
Ensure the Metasys server has a valid TLS certificate. If your server does not have a valid certificate, the MetasysClient object produces an error message and blocks the connection.
MetasysClient object ignores the error and makes an insecure connection with the server. When you use the ignoreCertificateErrors parameter you put your server at risk of a man-in-the-middle security attack.
