Upload a list of devices to an existing batch for the specified customer

Applies to: Partner Center

How to upload a list of information about devices to an existing batch for the specified customer. This associates the devices with a device batch already created.

Prerequisites

  • Credentials as described in Partner Center authentication. This scenario supports authentication with both standalone App and App+User credentials.

  • A customer ID (customer-tenant-id). If you don't know the customer's ID, you can look it up in Partner Center by selecting the Customers workspace, then the customer from the customer list, then Account. On the customer's Account page, look for the Microsoft ID in the Customer Account Info section. The Microsoft ID is the same as the customer ID (customer-tenant-id).

  • The device batch identifier.

  • The list of device resources that provide the information about the individual devices.

C#

To upload a list of devices to an existing device batch, first, instantiate a new [List/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.list-1) of type Device and populate the list with the devices. The following combinations of populated properties are required at a minimum for identifying each device:

Then, call the IAggregatePartner.Customers.ById method with the customer identifier to retrieve an interface to operations on the specified customer. Next, call the DeviceBatches.ById method with the device batch identifier to get an interface to operations for the specified batch. Finally, call the Devices.Create or CreateAsync method with the list of devices to add the devices to the device batch.

IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;
string selectedCustomerId;
string selectedDeviceBatchId;

List<Device> devicesToBeUploaded = new List<Device>
{
    new Device
    {
        HardwareHash = "DummyHash1234",
        ProductKey = "00329-00000-0003-AA606",
        SerialNumber = "2R9-ZNP67"
    },

    new Device
    {
        HardwareHash = "DummyHash12345",
        ProductKey = "00329-00000-0003-AA606",
        SerialNumber = "2R9-ZNP67"
    }
};

var trackingLocation =
    partnerOperations.Customers.ById(selectedCustomerId).DeviceBatches.ById(selectedDeviceBatchId).Devices.Create(devicesToBeUploaded);
