Hi Bruno,

Another way to get the same results is using the class library. For example, you could proceed as follows:

• Get all the protocols using GetProtocols. This method return a collection of IDmsProtocol objects
• Get all elements using GetElements. This method returns a collection of IDmsElement objects. Interestingly, one of the properties of the IDmsElement object is the protocol (returned as IDmsProtocol object)

I believe with these two data sources you can determine which protocols are not used.

Hope it helps.

If I understand correctly you want to export the list of unused protocols to a file? This is not available out of the box but should be doable through an automation script.

Some things you might need:

• Sending an SLNetMessage
• new GetInfoMessage(InfoType.Protocols)
• A list of all elements in your system and their protocol name + version
• Iterations comparing the list of protocols to the list of elements and their protocols.
• Some extra filtering (there will be some special protocols in there that are inherent to DataMiner)
• Download button interactive automation script component

Note: sending SLNetMessages is at your own risk and these messages are subject to change at any point when you upgrade your system.
