    Hi,
    I need to export and import devices from one repository to another. I can see the export option in codesys, but i do not find the corresponding option in ScriptDeviceDescrition

    to get the device I'm using this code:

    for id in range(0, DevRepList.__len__()):   # for some reaseon for Dev in DevRepList wont work
      if DevRepList[id].name == "X-Soft":
         XList=device_repository.get_all_devices(DevRepList[id])
         for  xDev in XList:
            pass # do export

    Is it possible at all to export devices?

    Thanks,
    Nina

    About the first line of your code: Where does the come from?

    The export of device descriptions was added with CODESYS V3.5 SP10 and the Scripting API does not support it yet. I added an entry to our bug tracking so it will be implemented at some point.

    sorry, i forgot the first line:

    DevRepList=device_repository.sources
for id in range(0, DevRepList.__len__()):   # for some reaseon for Dev in DevRepList wont work
      if DevRepList[id].name == "X-Soft":
         XList=device_repository.get_all_devices(DevRepList[id])
         for  xDev in XList:
            pass # do export

    Thanks for adding to jira

    Hi Nina.

    The iteration of should work. I tested it with the following code and had no problem:

    sources = device_repository.sources
assert(len(sources) > 0, "no repo sources")
print("Available sources of the device repository:")
for src in sources:
   print("- {}: {}".format(src.name, src.location_url))
count = 0
print("Get all device descriptions from a specific source")
sysRepoSource = sources["System Repository"]
devColl = device_repository.get_all_devices(sysRepoSource)
for dev in devColl:
   printDeviceDesc(dev)
   count += 1
   if count > 100:
      break

    You find the complete source code as attachment.

    BTW: You can get the repo source by name. The syntax for it is . It will return the matching repo source or if there is none with that name.
