Hi there,
I’m looking to automate new external DCF connections in DataMiner. All of the necessary information that we need to connect our two devices in DCF is available within DataMiner and have already created a script that will locate these variables and bridge them together.
However, I have hit a bit of a roadblock when attempting to add a new entry to the connections table. This table’s Get parameters are available in the documentation, however the Set parameters are not. This is causing issues when trying to write to this table.
To clarify, this was done via an automation script since this process really only needs to be executed one time. However, I have noticed a large portion of the methods used to add connections in the documentation are part of the protocol library.
So I am asking whether there is anywhere I can access these write parameters for the connection table? Or should I take a different approach and add these DCF connections using a protocol instead?
Thank you
Tyler

Hello Tyler,
Glad to hear you look to automate this process, I suggest following the DCF best practises and utilizing the nuget DCF Helper class these can be found here:
DCF Helper Class | DataMiner Docs
DCF best practices | DataMiner Docs
To give a bit of context, indeed the data is stored in parameters but by utilizing the nuget it actually adds extra checks and protection into resolving interfaces you attempt to connect.
Hi Tyler, you could consider using the Skyline Generic Provisioning | Catalog (dataminer.services) connector, which allows you to automatically create the external connections based on an excel sheet with the connections you want to create.
