Hi Prathyusha,
Digital Twin Manager is an application to create and define assets and asset hierarchies. To display the devices linked to an asset you can either use the applications Cockpit or Device Management.
The link in the second screenshot will route you to the device in Device Management.

Main is not an device.
Here is the json_body:
{
“name”: “Main”,
“fp_type”:“FP.Facility.Building”,
“type”: “c8y_DeviceGroup”,
“c8y_ISDeviceGroup”: {},
“c8y_Position”: {
“lng”: “”,
“lat”: “”,
“trackingProtocol”:“”
},
“c8y_Address”: {

 "street":  "", 
 "city": "", 
 "cityCode":"", 
 "region":"", 
 "country": "" 

}
}
Main is as child asset to the Kiel asset.

ost: {{url}}/inventory/managedObjects/{{deviceId}}/childAssets?Content-Type=application/vnd.com.nsn.cumulocity.managedobject+json&Accept=application/vnd.com.nsn.cumulocity.managedobject+json

Body:
{
“managedObject”: {“id”:“85882”}
}
Here is the screenshot of the hirearchy from GET query.

Hi Prathyusha,

can you share the full asset with id 85882? (GET on {{url}}/inventory/managedObjects/85882). It looks like you are expecting a Device Group but the DTM UI links it to a device (Screenshot 2 with Route …/device/85882)

Thanks

Hi Prathyusha,

the fragment for the Device Group is incorrect. The Fragment for a Device Group is :“c8y_IsDeviceGroup”. So maybe the DTM uses the device route as a fallback here.
Did you create the Group via API?
Could you try to change it via API with a PUT on {{url}}/inventory/managedObjects/85882
Body:
{ "c8y_ISDeviceGroup": null, "c8y_IsDeviceGroup": {} }
