| Function Groups: | Protobuf |
| Related to: | ProtobufDecode | ProtobufInstantiate | ProtobufParse |
| Format: |
ProtobufEncode(ProtobufHandle, MessageTypeName, DataToEncode) |
| Parameters: |
| ProtobufHandle |
| Protobuf handle generated by ProtobufParse |
| MessageTypeName |
|
Message type from ProtobufHandle's proto file. This is the full name, meaning that if the .proto file includes a package name "com.trihedral.protobufexample" and the message name is "AMessage", this would be "com.trihedral.protobufexample.AMessage". For nested messages this also includes all ancestor messages |
| DataToEncode |
| VTScada data structure representing the message to be encoded |
| Comments: |
Protobuf version 2 allows fields to be defined as required. If all fields marked as required are not present when encoding a message ProtobufEncode will return invalid.
Decoding and encoding of proto2 groups is not supported. |
