I know it is possible to create Enhanced views now in DataMiner to show data pages of a particular element inside the view card, but I can\'t find any results about \"Enhanced view\" in the help.
How do I create such a view?
Although enhancing a view with an element was implemented (RN19316) to use in a CPE/EPM environment, it is also usable in a normal environment, and without the CPEIntegration soft launch flag. There is no UI available to configure this though, but there are 3 ways to do it. Note: all three are advanced and should only be done by someone who knows what's he's doing.
- Editing Views.XML: To enhance a view with an element, add the enhancedElement attribute to the view tag, with the element ID as value. Example:
<View id="98" parent="-1" name="Enhanced view" vdxFile="" lastModified="2020-03-25 17:01:13" lastModifiedBy="Lander Vanhaverbeke" enhancedElement="169/102">
A DataMiner restart is necessary to apply the changes.
- Send the EnhanceViewWithElementRequestMessage with the SLNetClientTestTool. The properties are the view ID and the element ID.
- Send the EnhanceViewWithElementRequestMessage with an automation script (or in a protocol).
When the view is enhanced with the element, the alarm level of the element will impact the alarm level of the view (even if the element is not inside that view), and all data pages of that element will be displayed in the card of the enhanced view.
A view can be further enhanced with data from a CPE Manager, but then we're completely in CPE/EPM territory, and behind the CPE Integration soft launch flag. As I understand your question, this is not your goal.
I’ll get in touch with the documentation squad to see if this should be added to the help.
