I want to use a mediation snippet (profile parameter converter) to convert parameter values via an automation script but not tied to a particular profile instance. In other words, I'm looking for a way to invoke the snippet passing the value it should convert. How can I do that?
I believe currently there is only an internal call available for this.
A converter is identified by a Guid which is stored in a profile parameter. Once you have this identifier, you can use the MediateDeviceToProfileRequest SLNet call which accepts an element ID, a mediation snippet ID and a wrapper class for the parameter value.
Note that this is an internal call and we do not recommend using this, as it is not officially supported and we cannot guarantee that it will still work in the future. As a rule, you should avoid using SLNet calls, as these are subject to change without notice. We recommend to instead always use the correct UI or automation options provided in DataMiner Automation or through our web API.
