Hi
Is there any documentation or training which explain how we can automate building of elements in DM?
Hi Ladan,
DataMiner Infrastructure Discovery Provisioning (IDP) might be what you are looking for. There is a tutorial in the docs: Getting started with IDP and onboarding new equipment | DataMiner Docs, which also contains a link to a Kata session to get started.
Hope that helps!
Just to be complete, next to IDP as mentioned by Sebastian, you could also do your own automation and e.g. create elements from automation scripts or connectors: Examples | DataMiner Docs
Or you could also create elements from externally using the web services API: CreateElement | DataMiner Docs. Which allows you to e.g. do this from Ansible: Configuring DataMiner using Ansible | DataMiner Docs
