Hi Dojo,
Is there a way that IDP can create DCF connections which aren't based on LLDP data?
In my case I have a DOM object which is a list of devices and a DOM object containing the connections between those devices.
I've already succeeded with automation scripting to let IDP create the elements for those devices, but now I need to setup the DCF connections between them.
In case IDP doesn't support this, is there a way that I can do it from Automation?
Hi Jens,
Expanding on Edson's response, for as long as the connectivity script has access to the DCF configuration (we have used flat files in the past, but if access to DOM is possible then that would also work) and the element contains the appropriate interface configuration (even if virtual) the IDP connectivity connector (Catalog (dataminer.services)) can create the DCF traces for all elements.
The connector makes use of especial DLLs that make the process rather simple, so I do recommend making use of the standard procedure (connectivity scrip -> discovery connector).
Jens, we have done similar integration using scripts and the scheduler, which can help with the recurrency. I see two types of scripts here: 1 to make sure the needed relations from DOM are available, and the other in charge of executing the DCF relations. Let’s sync if necessary because we might be able to help.
Hi Rene, The goal is that the DCF connections are created on the fly. With the connectivity script I still need to a) select elements and b) click on the connectivity discovery button.
I’m looking for a way that I can do all of this immediately from inside my main script
