7.12.2 ResultTransferType methods

This method is used to start the read file transaction. A successful call of this method creates a temporary FileType Object with the file content and returns the NodeId of this Object and the file handle to access the Object.

Signature

	GenerateFileForRead ([in]	ResultTransferOptions	generateOptions[out]	NodeId	fileNodeId[out]	UInt32	fileHandle[out]	NodeId	completionStateMachine);

Table 76 – GenerateFileForRead Method Arguments

Argument	Description
generateOptions	The structure used to define the generate options for the file.
fileNodeId	NodeId of the temporary file
fileHandle	The FileHandle of the opened TransferFile. The FileHandle can be used to access the TransferFile methods Read and Close.
completionStateMachine	If the creation of the file is completed asynchronously, the parameter returns the NodeId of the corresponding FileTransferStateMachineType Object. If the creation of the file is already completed, the parameter is null. If a FileTransferStateMachineType object NodeId is returned, the Read Method of the file fails until the TransferState changed to ReadTransfer.
