Hi Dojo Community
I’m currently working on a tool using visio that has to retrieve data from a table from all the elements within the dms that use a certain protocol.
I’ve been able to perform it with hardcoded element’s names, but I need to also retrieve those names dynamically, that way the visio has no need to be modified if the customer decides to add a new element with that protocol.
The idea is to retrieve all ELEMENT1, ELEMENT2,…, ELEMENTN dynamically from the DMS. All elements retrieved should use the protocol needed.
Currently I have the idea to create a parameter inside a protocol that is being used by the visio and is unique for the entire DMS, that parameter will contain the list of elements that use that protocol and then I just need to retrieve that parameter from visio.
Are there any other options to achieve what I need? Either directly from Visio instead of modifying a protocol.
I saw some examples of elements being retrieved directly by the visio from views within the DMA but I’m not sure how that works and if it would be appropriate in this case.
Thanks for your ideas and suggestions.
Hi Luis,
Is it not an option to use a dashboard to display this information? GQI can perform this action without hardcoding any element name. For example, you can use the data source Get parameters for elements where to get all the rows (from a specific table) for all the elements using a specific protocol.
Hi Luis,
Yes, it is possible to select multiples rows from a ‘table’ component and execute an action. Please keep in mind that this is only possible when using custom apps (not the dashboard app)
Hi Miguel, thank you for the help
I would have to take a look since the Visio I’m working on is a tool that retrieves more data from different elements to allow the user to select only certain options and then execute an automation. Is this still possible with Dashboards?
