How to add a Site ID to Storage System Address Scheme?

Is it possible to expand the storage system address scheme with an additional field, i.e. Site ID? The issue is that I would like to query storage possibilities by site and not only globally.

@Lars Christian J2 , There exists an Aisle side management in manual for left and right side by mapping of Aisle ID and slot progression. Front and Back side are seperated by even and uneven numbering.

I think the question was about a Site ID indicating the warehouse location rather than a Side ID.

The simplest way will be to duplicate the address scheme for each site and include the site ID at the start.

Then on the storage objects choose the correct scheme for the site:

So I should by able to query these two fields? They do not contain any value.

You said you wanted to use change the address - here the slot.address=="LON-A-1-A-1-1" or "CPH-A-1-A-1-1". Without this, finding "A-1-A-1-1" would give slots in both racks.

I am not sure how to access the 2 new fields in the address?

Thanks for all the input. I realized that I can use slot.storageObject to limit the result of the sql query.


Object Site = Model.find("SiteA");

Array WrhObj = Site.subnodes.toArray();

int Zone = 10;

return Storage.system.querySlots("WHERE slot.zoneID = $1 AND slot.storageObject IN $2", 0, Zone, WrhObj).as(Array).length;

Yes - there's probably 20+ ways you can get around it without using the address. You could also also check if slot.storageObject.up = site. Might be more efficient than checking if it's in an array depending on the length.

I don't believe that this is possible.

You could use an (indexed) slot label for that purpose though. Or is there any reason you would like to avoid using labels?
