When exporting elements from DMS to a CSV file, the shown DataMiner ID is the ID of the DMA when the element was originally created but not the DataMiner ID of the DMA where the element is currently hosted, for example, if the element created on DMA1 and then migrated to DMA2, the DataMiner ID of the element will remain the ID of DMA1.
My question is, how to find out the elements residing on a specific DMA with any other criteria rather than the DataMiner ID that has been exported via the CSV, noting that when we search in DataMiner "Burger" we can see a column called "DataMiner " and it shows the DMA where the element is currently hosted, how can this column be exported to CSV?
Hi Kawssar,
It seems you chose the option to export 'All data (suitable for CSV import)' in your Export window. Apparently, this doesn't contain the information you're looking for. An option could be to choose 'Data as displayed on view card', as this does show you the agents where the element is hosted.
Kind Regards,
Jarno
Hi Kawssar, you are indeed correct that the “as displayed in view” feature is not available on DataMiner 9.6.12, it has been added as part of RN26450 in 10.0.9/10.1.0 so you would need to upgrade your 9.6.12 system to be able to use it.
Hi Kawssar,
This is currently not part of the CSV file exporter, and doesn't seem like that would be the intent either. Just like DELT packages, it can be used to edit or recreate elements with a certain configuration and identifier on the selected system, rather than forcing it on the original one.
To have exports that tell you which agent they are hosted on, I believe you will have to filter / only select the elements currently hosted on a specific agent. Marking the agent in the CSV name will then help with identification later.
Thanks, Jarno, for your input. It appears that this export feature isn’t available in DataMiner 9.6.12. However, I was able to successfully execute it on another cluster operating on DataMiner 10.3.
