Our team implemented a quality inspection system using edge computing technologies like IBM Edge Application Manager. We have described our implementation in the article, Explore the details of an edge computing architecture for a quality inspection system, where you can learn how IBM Edge Application Manager and IBM Maximo Visual Inspection work together to deliver an edge computing solution.

We implemented several functions to be able to access the corresponding entities from IBM Edge Application Manager (IEAM) APIs.

The following functions were implemented for accessing the corresponding entities from IBM Edge Application Manager (IEAM) APIs:

Table 1 documents IEAM Exchange API and Table 2 documents IEAM CSS API.

Table 1. IEAM Exchange API (base is HZN_EXCHANGE_API)

Component	Name	API	Description
Nodes	getNodeStatus	GET /orgs/{org_id}/nodes/{node_id}/status	Retrieves node health check information, such as running services, connectivity, and last response time
	getNodes	GET /orgs/{org_id}/nodes	Retrieves a list of nodes registered at IEAM Exchange
	getNode	GET /orgs/{org_id}/nodes/{node_id} Retrieves information about a specified node registered in IEAM Exchange
Services	getServices	GET /orgs/{org_id} /services	Retrieves list of services defined at IEAM Exchange
	getService	GET /orgs/{org_id}/services/{service_id}	Retrieves information about a specified service defined in IEAM Exchange
	publishService	POST /orgs/{org_id}/services/{service_id}	Updates the service definition in IEAM Exchange or creates it if it does not exist
Patterns	getPatterns	GET /orgs/{org_id/patterns	Retrieves a list of patterns defined in IEAM Exchange
	getPattern	GET /orgs/{org_id}/patterns/{pattern_id}	Retrieves information about specified pattern defined in IEAM Exchange
	publishPattern	POST /orgs/{org_id}/patterns/{pattern_id}	Updates the pattern definition in IEAM Exchange or creates it if not exists
	setPatternKey	PUT /orgs/{org_id}/patterns/{pattern_id}/keys/{key_name}	Updates IEAM node public key for a specified pattern
Policies	getNodePolicy	GET /orgs/{org_id}/nodes/{node_id}/policy	Retrieves node policy properties and constraints
	updateNodePolicy	PUT /orgs/{org_id}/nodes/{node_id}/policy	Updates node policy properties and/or constraints
Agreements	getNodeAgreements	GET /orgs/{org_id}/nodes/{node_id}/agreements	Retrieves a list of agreements for specified IEAM node
	getNodeAgreement	GET /orgs/{org_id}/nodes/{node_id}/agreements/{agmt_id}	Retrieves information about specified IEAM node agreement

Table 2. IEAM CSS API (base is HZN_MMS_API)

Name	API	Description
getStatus	GET /health	Retrieves the IEAM CSS health check information
createObject	PUT /objects/{org_id}/{object_type}/{object_id}	Updates IEAM CSS object definition or creates if it does not exist
publishBinaryData	PUT /objects/{org_id}/{object_type}/{object_id}/data	Updates binary data for a specified IEAM CSS object (model files for us) or creates it if it does not exist
getObject	GET /objects/{org_id}/{object_type}/{object_id}	Retrieves specified IEAM CSS object definition information
getObjects	GET /objects/{org_id}/{object_type}?all_objects=true	Retrieves a list of IEAM CSS objects filtered by their type
deleteObject	DELETE /objects/{org_id}/{object_type}/{object_id}	Deletes a specified IEAM CSS object from database
