Hi Jochen, when running an automation script as subscript you can return data to the main script via the AddScriptOutput. Here an example of how I use it: Subscript: // Add data to be returned to main...

Hi Andy, a team of developers is working on revising the full connector development education path including certifications. The focus will be not only on specific integrations, but also on best practices,...

Hi, Both type Custom and Retrieved are used when we want to fill in the table via code (could be your qaction, could even be another element / script). The main difference is that custom does not support...

Hi Robin, I just verified: the Lookup method uses the Notify GetKeysForIndex. This notify requires the lookup-column to be indexed (e.g. via ;indexColumn option) so the search can happen. https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/api/types/Skyline.DataMiner.Scripting.SLProtocol.GetKeysForIndex.html...

Hi, This will have no effect on any communication set up via QActions (c#) All settings made in the element wizard apply to the native communication flow done by DataMiner. Using logic in a QAction...

Hi Alex, It would be good to understand your use-case. It is not common practice to manipulate users / groups via a connector. When better understanding where your need comes from we might be able to provide...

Turns out it is not allowed to have library name with dots in. I had a Data source using xxx.yyy.zzz as lib name in the XML definition. replacing it to xxx_yyy_zzz solved the problem. Compiling a C# code...

Hi Paul, This might provide some insights on the first 2 items: https://community.dataminer.services/video/ruis-rapid-recap-bulk-editing-via-csv-import/ It shows how to edit multiple elements via export...

I think there must be something wrong with 10.2.8 upgrade. Most likely missing some install component for NAS / NATS. Note that I am not cloud connected. So I do not have the Cloud Pack installed When...

Hi Ryan, to change the version of a protocol you can use the below piece of code in your Automation script. Do note that this will only change the version and not configure any extra items that might be...

Although it is not exactly the same setup, this article might already provide you some good insights on best practices: How to define serial and smart-serial responses in one and the same driver - DataMiner...

Hello, Configuring the event viewer has indeed been limited to existing events. This to avoid misconfigurations. The downside of this is, as you mentioned, that the event must have occurred in the past...

Please share your DataMiner version where you have encountered this.(via the About) More info on slow poll and how to integrate this can be found in: 1. DataMiner Help (available on your DMS): search...

Leander, Thanks for the call. as you mentioned the problem lays in the loading time of reading the DomInstances because your architecture has a DomDefinition where 1 of it's section has multiple records...

Hi Aston, As far as I'm aware it is not possible to change the layout programmatically of a table shown in an Element Page. This is a hardcoded in the Protocol definition. I'm not aware if this would...

Hi Alberto, Since all responses are retrieved via the same protocol connection, the "200"-replies will indeed give the element a "still alive" indication. And even when a previous request would trigger...

To my knowledge, this does not exist. When this is needed I would suggest to make a new feature request. The only alternative you currently have is triggering on timeout, but as you mentioned this will...

Michiel, It's always good to start by understanding the expected behavior of an action when getting an exception. I assume you are executing the following method from your automation script: myElement.SetParameter(...);...

Hello, I will keep my answer (for now) on high level as this could go very deep into the logical flow of how things operate. I don't think this is what you need. In general: priority of getting the outcome...

Just to add the full answer: The used url of an HTTP Session will be composed by the polling IP of the element and the value defined in either the url attribute of the Session Request or the value used...

Hi Gilles, It seems (smart) serial connections are not yet supported in the class library. However it is possible to use the raw messages to achieve this. (Similar as the raw messages the class library...

Hi Jens, As I understand this is for simulation / demo purpose. In that case I understand you want to delete all the Connections at startup. Would it be possible to test by retrieving all of the interfaces...

Hello, First of all: There will always be multiple solutions to achieve the same result, the "best solution" for the job is specific to the use-case itself. And in most cases using the existing DVE...

Thank you for the answers. In my use case I can't really sue the IsVisible property as in some pages / panels I want all the fields to be visible and in others just a few. Instead of using a Form + update...

I could take the data I needed from the IIS logs: inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC1 And excel has been my friend to generate a simple graph.

I got it to work by using this: Create custom dialog containing 1 Label Showing this dialog before running the controller Have the controller run the interactive dialog iso the Loading dialog....

Hi, Do you mean that the raw value from the data source is text-based: "48375429 Frames" And you would like to have this as a number-based parameter in your protocol so you could link it to a shape? In...

Hello, Could you share where you see this error? Is this thrown by an Automation Script linked to a correlation rule? My first guess is that logic in that script is failing e.g. because xxx/xxx is not...

Hi Alex, Is it possible that the qaction (sl scripting) is triggered before the element is up and running (sl protocol) Or do you encounter this every time the qaction needs to run? Also note that our...

I could find the PK of the (regular connector) DVE by creating the below helper. Usage: var dmaId = 1000; var elementId = 1; Element myRandomElement = engine.FindElement(dmaId, elementId); var elementMapper...

I was able to make it work using the "Contributing Config" property on the Service definition (used for the contributing) itself. This property value (Json format) can contain a Script indication. For...

Hi Jorge, Do you have any suggestions on how to best implement our own logger?

Hi Bruno, The formatting will normally be done by the Mib-browser, so the inconsistency lays there. As you have mentioned: when looking at the raw data you always see the same format. It is this format...

Hi Filiep, I have made a small test connector using the below approach. When checking the stream viewer the delay is done correctly before the GET is executed. Approach: A write parameter with SNMP...

I will opt for an custom Element Property configured via Automation https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/api/types/Skyline.DataMiner.Automation.ScriptDummy.SetPropertyValue.html

I found the following. please confirm if this is safe to use: var alarmFilter = new Skyline.DataMiner.Net.Filters.AlarmFilter(); var alarmFilterItemelement = new Skyline.DataMiner.Net.Filters.AlarmFilterItemInt(Skyline.DataMiner.Net.Filters.AlarmFilterField.SeverityID,...

Hi Brecht, Could you provide a bit more info: When you indicate the protocol name changed, do you mean the new selected parent and its exported child protocols are different then those used? If not I...
