An XML query can be used to verify or discover settings on a device. The following example illustrates how to form a query for a client device. For more information on how to deliver the query, see Provisioning From a Desktop Computer Using Remote API and ActiveSync

The following example illustrates how to form a query for a client device

Parm Query Example

This example queries the device for the current state of the alarm. The characteristic element specifies the device clock. Its parm-query child element indicates that the value of the "AlarmOn" parm should be returned.

<characteristic type="Clock">
    <parm-query name="AlarmOn" />
</characteristic>

This is the result returned by the device. The characteristic element contains a parm child element with its "AlarmOn" attribute value set to "1" indicating that the alarm is on.

<characteristic type="Clock">
    <parm name="AlarmOn" value="1" />
</characteristic>

Remarks

One provisioning XML file typically contains configuration information for multiple Configuration Service Providers. To use this example, you must replace the values as appropriate, and add the node as a child of the OMA Client Provisioning file. For information about the syntax of this file, see OMA Client Provisioning Files. For examples, see OMA Client Provisioning XML File Examples.
