Hello Dojo,
I am currently linking collector tables to their respective EPM cards, and one of the drivers is used for entities in different topologies. The syntax to link these tables in the XML is to specify which tables are linked to which topology using the Cell name field, like this:
So I am wondering if there is a way to dynamically change the topology name in the driver so those tables are linked to the correct card.
Thank you.
Hello Lander, I want to do the latter, I want to link all the rows in the table to either an Amplifier or a Node, depending on if the element is representing either an Amplifier device or a Node device
Isn’t it better then to split that table, if it contains data of two separate types of objects?
They contain the same data for both of the devices. For example, one of the tables is the temperature table, so that table has all of the sensor readings for either the Amplifier or the Node, depending on how the element is configured. It does not have both of these sensors, they are either all for the Amplifier, or all for the Node
Thanks for the extra clarifications in the comments. It's currently not possible to make the topology cell name dynamic (by referencing a parameter or property or something like that).
If there are views for the levels of these objects, you can link them to the correct EPM object with a viewImpact column.
If there are no views for these levels, you could create separate collector protocols (one per object type) and/or request a new feature to make it possible to configure the topology name per element.
Hey Gabriel. Do you want to link one row to multiple objects (for example an Amplifier and a Node), or do you want to link some rows to one type of object, and other rows (of the same table) to another type of object?
