ChangeDeviceCustomFields

Changes the custom field values for one or more devices.

Uses and Requirements

The ThingSpace Platform sends a CarrierService callback message when the device custom fields have been changed, or if there was a problem and the change could not be completed.

Request Parameters

Parameter Type Description
DeviceList
optional*		 DeviceIdentifierCollection

A list of one or more devices that you want to change. Do not pass DeviceGroupName, AccountName, DeviceCustomFieldFilter, or DeviceServicePlanFilter if you use this parameter.

You can use GetDeviceList to get a list of all devices in the account.

For each device in DeviceList, use this structure of nested parameters: 

<DeviceIdentifierCollection>
  <DeviceIndentifiers>
    <DeviceIdentifier>
      <Kind></Kind>
      <Identifier></Identifier>
    </DeviceIdentifier>
  </DeviceIndentifiers>
</DeviceIdentifierCollection>
Kind
required for DeviceList		 string The type of the device identifier. Valid types of identifiers are:
  • ESN (decimal)
  • ICCID (up to 20 digits)
  • IMEI (up to 16 digits)
  • MDN
  • MEID (hexadecimal)
  • MSISDN

For 2G and 3G devices, you only need to include one Kind and Identifier. For 4G devices, you must specify both the IMEI and the ICCID within separate DeviceIdentifier elements, in that order.
Identifier
required for DeviceList		 string The value of the device identifier.
DeviceGroupName
optional*		 string

The name of a device group, if you want to only include devices in that group.

You can use GetDeviceGroupList to get a list of all device groups in the account.
AccountName
optional*		 string

The name of a billing account if you want to change the custom fields for all devices in that account. An account name is usually numeric, and must include any leading zeros.

This parameter is required if you are passing DeviceGroupName and you have access to multiple accounts, since the same device group name can exist in multiple accounts.
DeviceServicePlanFilter
optional*		 string The name of a service plan, if you want to only include devices that have that service plan. You can use GetServicePlanList to get a list of all service plans in the account.
DeviceCustomFieldFilter
optional*		 CustomField The names and values of custom fields, if you only want to change devices that have matching custom fields. To change the value of an existing custom field, use DeviceCustomFieldFilter to find devices that currently have that value, and then use CustomFields to set the new value.
Name
required for DeviceCustomFieldFilter		 string The name of the custom field. Valid names are CustomField1, CustomField2, CustomField3, CustomField4, and CustomField5.
Value
required for DeviceCustomFieldFilter		 string The value of the custom field.

Allowed characters in custom field values

  • Alphanumeric characters
  • / (forward slash)
  • SPACE
  • @ (at sign)
  • . (period)
  • , (comma)
  • : (colon)
  • - (hyphen)
  • _ (underscore)
  • ( (open parenthesis)
  • ) (close parenthesis)
  • [ (open bracket)
  • ] (close bracket)
  • # (number sign or hash)
CustomFields
required		 CustomField The names and values of the custom fields that you want to change.
Name
required for CustomFields		 string The name of the custom field. Valid names are CustomField1, CustomField2, CustomField3, CustomField4, and CustomField5.
Value
required for CustomFields		 string The value of the custom field.

Allowed characters in custom field values

  • Alphanumeric characters
  • / (forward slash)
  • SPACE
  • @ (at sign)
  • . (period)
  • , (comma)
  • : (colon)
  • - (hyphen)
  • _ (underscore)
  • ( (open parenthesis)
  • ) (close parenthesis)
  • [ (open bracket)
  • ] (close bracket)
  • # (number sign or hash)

* You can either specify individual devices with the DeviceList parameter, or you can run the request on all devices that have a specified account name, device group name, service plan name, or custom field value. You can specify an AccountName or a DeviceGroupName plus one or both filters to identify only those devices that match all criteria.

Response Parameters

Parameter Type Description
RequestId string A unique string that associates the request with the results that are sent via a callback service.

The ThingSpace Platform will send a separate callback message for each device that matched the request criteria, indicating whether the operation succeeded for that device and containing any requested information. All of the callback messages will have the same RequestId.

Callback Response Parameters

Parameter Type Description
CallbackRequest CallbackRequest Wrapper element for all callback elements.
Username string The username defined when a URL was registered for the callback service, or an empty element if no username was defined.
Password string The password defined when a registered for the callback service, or an empty element if no password was defined.
RequestId string A unique string that matches the RequestId returned in the synchronous response to the original API request.

A separate callback message is sent for each device that matched the request criteria, indicating whether the operation succeeded for that device. All of the callback messages will have the same RequestId.
Device DeviceIdentifier The device that was changed.
Kind string The type of the device identifier. Valid types of identifiers are:
  • ESN (decimal)
  • ICCID (up to 20 digits)
  • IMEI (up to 16 digits)
  • MDN
  • MEID (hexadecimal)
  • MIN
  • MSISDN
Identifier string The value of the device identifier.
