Instrument results not received by Senaite (senaite.astm) (senaite.lis2a) (senaite.jsonapi)

Technical Questions and Answers
1

Hello,
I’m trying to send test results from my equipment to Senaite but haven’t been successful.
I’ve reviewed the project documentation available on Git.

  • Installed senaite.astm on a separate server.
  • Installed the senaite.lis2a add-on in Senaite.
  • Installed the ‘senaite.jsonapi’
  • Added the required configurations in:
    • /home/senaite/senaitelims/eggs/cp27mu/senaite.lis2a-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/senaite/lis2a/configure.zcml
    • /home/senaite/senaitelims/eggs/cp27mu/senaite.lis2a-2.0.0-py2.7.egg/senaite/lis2a/interpreters
      (as described on Interpreters — senaite.lis2a 1.0.2 documentation)
  • Created custom adapters in senaite.astm:
    • /home/senaite/senaite.astm/src/senaite/astm/adapters
    • /home/senaite/senaite.astm/src/senaite/astm/instruments

However, when attempting to send the results, an error occurs.

Log Details:

  1. Connection between the equipment and senaite.astm is successful:

  1. Equipment begins sending results in ASTM format:

  1. Results transmission completes:

Lost connection for 172.16.20.86:49170

  1. senaite.astm starts forwarding results to senaite.lis2a (connection successful):

Dispatching ASTM
Message Starting session with SENAITE …
Session established (‘admin’) with ‘http://192.168.100.10:8080/senaite’

  1. Error occurs during push to Senaite:

Could not push.

Retrying 2/3

Starting session with SENAITE …
Session established (‘admin’) with ‘http://192.168.100.10:8080/senaite’
Could not push.

Retrying 3/3 Starting session with SENAITE …
Session established (‘admin’) with ‘http://192.168.100.10:8080/senaite’
Could not push the message

Key Observations:

  • The equipment-to-senaite.astm connection works.
  • ASTM messages are received and acknowledged (b'\x06' responses).
  • The failure happens when senaite.astm attempts to push data to Senaite (Could not push after retries).

Is there any key component to create/edit that I missed?

Best regards,

Need some help here. Anybody?

Hello @xispa, how are you doing?
I have been trying for the past 10 days, 8 hours a day, to get senaite.astm to work, without success.
I reviewed the available documentation on GitHub regarding the required modules and installed all of them.
I created the customized .py file in the /instruments directory.
I encountered a problem when following the instructions provided on GitHub:

Custom push consumer
A push consumer is registered as an adapter in configure.zcml:

<!-- Adapter to handle instrument pushes -->
<adapter
  name="custom.lis2a.import"
  factory=".lis2a.PushConsumer"
  provides="senaite.jsonapi.interfaces.IPushConsumer"
  for="*" />

When I add the above code to configure.zcml, my Senaite Docker container fails to start due to the error: factory=".lis2a.PushConsumer" does not exist.

Additionally, I am unsure what other configurations are required for senaite.astm.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could guide me on the steps to get senaite.astm working.

Thanks and regards.
