IDP – Connectivity: Can I create DCF connections which aren’t based on LLDP tables

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,

For a use case we were able to use IDP to provision elements and DCF connections using an external inventory as data source. This external data source exposes a API that is polled from an element manager that redirect the provisioning actions to IDP activities (using Process Automation). You could reuse these scripts to request to IDP to the create DCF connections.

Hi Miguel, Would it be possible that I can reuse the code to create the DCF connections without using Process Automation?

Hi Jens,
I believe you can reuse parts of the automation script. We can double check internally your use case and see what could be the best approach
