Hi, how do we automate the action of uploading an alarm and trend template .xml files into DataMiner via automation scripts? We need to repeat this process over and over again for about 10 protocols in a test procedure and it would greatly help to be able to automate this action.

Hi Bing,
A possible option is creating a dmapp package with the protocols including the templates (a protocol solution allows you to include templates).
Another possible option could be creating an dmapp package with all the alarm/trend templates in the companion file folder.
Hope it helps.

Since these are test templates, we have chosen the companion files path.
But there are additional steps to upload each template individually in DataMiner. This is a rather repetitive step when repeating tests. What I would like to do is automate the process of uploading template .xml files. Currently we have about 24 of them and counting.
