SOAP request uneffective on smartserver2.2 - soap

Question

I am new here. I work as a developper on a very small company. I am in charge of developping a software (asp.net/c#) in order to monitor street lightings via smartservers (old version : 2.2).
I use SOAP messages to change the configuration and the values of each individual lamp (via datapoint).
I mostly succeeded to create schedulers and also to add datapoints.
But I am facing an issue when I want to add presets to a datapoint.
For example, these are 3 presets that could be used by the scheduler to control the lamp power (nviLampValue):
ON with a power lamp value of 100% represented by the formatted value '100.0 1'
OFF with a power lamp value of 0% represented by the formatted value '0.0 0'
PRESET1 at 80% with the formatted value '80.0 1'
I created a SOAP request (SET) to configure the presets for a datapoint (i.e. Net/LON/P68/OLC[0]/nviLampValue_1) but after a lot of trials and despite having no errors, the smartserver still ignore my request.
If someone have an idea about what is wrong with the request, it would help me a lot.
Thanks by advance

Here is the SOAP request I made :

Answer 1

Ok, I found a solution that seems to work. I share in case someone could face the same (or a similar) problem.
This is what I found that worked after sending the request using SOAPUI:
I had to edit the < Enveloppe >, < MessageProperties > and < Set > tags with the correct namespaces.
I also added more parameters in the tag but I didn't check if they are all necessary, except UCPTname, UCPTannotation, UCPTFormatDescription, UCPTDirection and UCPTbaseType and that are important to define the presets.
Regards,
Here is the request that worked for me :
