The OPC UA client/server application object that will perform the operation.

In client applications, this is typically obtained by calling System.IServiceProvider.GetService(System.Type) on the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.IEasyUAClient (EasyUAClient object) with the type of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Application.IEasyUAClientServerApplication as an argument.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

The name of the file into which the data will be exported.

Parameters

application
The OPC UA client/server application object that will perform the operation.

In client applications, this is typically obtained by calling System.IServiceProvider.GetService(System.Type) on the OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.IEasyUAClient (EasyUAClient object) with the type of OpcLabs.EasyOpc.UA.Application.IEasyUAClientServerApplication as an argument.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

filePath
The name of the file into which the data will be exported.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions
ExceptionDescription

A null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is passed to a method that does not accept it as a valid argument.

This is a usage error, i.e. it will never occur (the exception will not be thrown) in a correctly written program. Your code should not catch this exception.

The OPC UA operation has failed. This operation exception in uniformly used to allow common handling of various kinds of errors. The System.Exception.InnerException always contains information about the actual error cause.

This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately.

Remarks

If the specified file does not exist, it is created; if it does exist, and it is not read-only, the contents are overwritten.

This method exports the security settings in the format used by the GDS client from OPC Foundation (Windows desktop sample). It uses the RegisteredApplication schema (which is not part of the OPC UA standard).

This is an extension method (info: C#, VB.NET). In languages that have support for extensions methods (such as C# and VB.NET), you can use the extension method as if it were a regular method on the object that is its first parameter. In other languages (such as with Python.NET), you will call the extension as a static method, and pass it the object on which it acts as its first parameter.

Requirements

Target Platforms: .NET Framework: Windows 10 (selected versions), Windows 11 (selected versions), Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2022; .NET: Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows
