I try to integrate with VMS 2020R2 with SOAP protocol integration.

First，I call login API to get a token with basichttpbinding. and then call ​Alarm Command SOAP web service->GetAlarmLines with below request:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:cen="http://videoos.net/2/CentralServerAlarmCommand" xmlns:vid="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/VideoOS.Platform.Proxy.Alarm">

soapenv:Header/

soapenv:Body

cen:GetAlarmLines

    _</vid:OrderBy>_

  _</vid:Orders>_

 _</cen:filter>_

</cen:GetAlarmLines>

</soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

I get error response from VMS server as below:

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

<s:Body>

<s:Fault>

</s:Envelope>

Is there any problem with the SOAP request body?

This AlarmList sample might be helpful for you –

Thanks. I want to use SOAP protocol to integrate with VMS. I guess maybe there is some wrong value put in the SOAP request body.

The following works for me. I just took out everything but the token and the token, max count, and empty filter. I am now trying to figure out how filters can be used. The see the C# project answer Milestone keeps giving is insufficient in my opinion. They really need to try their protocol integrations themselves. If they did, their documentation would improve.
