I have been advised to research on how to use the Interapp class to make bulk changes to multiple alarm templates at once but I don't really know how to use it or how it works. I know there is documentation about this on this website, but I am still not hundred percent on its workings.
Hi Curtis,
I am not sure if InterApp calls are strictly needed for your use case but they work so that you have a messaging mechanism between different elements or an automation script and an element.
You can use them to send a message to each element and have them assign the template to itself.
You can read about InterApp messages on this page (InterApp classes | DataMiner Docs) and its linked articles.
What I would advise you also to have a look is into Class Library and the IDmsElement and IDmsProtocol objects in particular.
With the IDmsProtocol object, you can use GetAlarmTemplate or GetAlarmTemplates to retrieve your existing alarm templates.
Then with the IDmsElement object, you can assign a different template to each of your elements via the AlarmTemplate property.
Hope this was useful.
Thank you João, this is a good to help understand.
