Hello,

I am trying to list namespaces of my OPC UA server, but without success. I tried also:

If I try this:

NodeId nodeId = new NodeId("Server", 0);

INode node = clientInterface.session.NodeCache.FetchNode(nodeId);

I get an error:

Opc.Ua.ServiceResultException: 'BadNodeIdUnknown'

call

NodeId nodeId = new NodeId(2253, 0);

works fine.

What is the most straightforward way to use browsename to find/fetch node?

Thanks a lot.

Use the constants defined for well known nodes.

i.e.

var nodeId = new NodeId(Opc.Ua.Objects.Server, 0);

or

var nodeId = Opc.Ua.ObjectIds.Server;

Hi Randy,

thank you for a quick answer. The "Server" was an example to be sure that the nodeid string is correct.

My intention is to get NodeId for Sever.NamespaceArray, or any other node.

Constants exist for every UA defined NodeId.

Look in the file to find what you need.

That's correct.

The background of my question: I am trying to build aggregating server. A default ua client do not have a knowledge about the file where node id are defined.

I could generate address space where I set node IDs as strings. But that is just a workaround for specific server.

For requesting node by string ID is a built in function, or it is required by design to use translateBrowsePathsToNodeIds service to access node by its browsename and nemespace index?

Thank you

How a client gets the NodeId is up to the client and depends on the context.

Options include:

1) Browse;
2) TranslateBrowsePath;
3) Read (e.g. DataType Attribute);

You can also save a previously browsed NodeId and load it from configuration file.

All of these work for an aggregating server.
