Hi Dojo,
I would like to write an installation package for my solution, which contains:
1. Service Template
2. Correlation Rule
3. Information Template
Could you provide me some documentation, preferably an example, on how I can achieve this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Frederic,
I didn’t test it, but I believe you could use the companion files to include the service templates and correlation rules. You will need to place the corresponding files in the same folder structure where you found them. For example:
- Service templates in Content\Skyline DataMiner\Services\SERVICE_TEMPLATE_NAME
- Correlation rules in Content\Skyline DataMiner\Correlation
Keep in mind that a DataMiner restart will be required.
For information templates, it seems that it is possible through the AppInstaller: Class AppPackageInformationTemplate
Hope it helps.
Hi Miguel,
Thank you for your help so far. I will try it with companion files for the service template. Previously, I copied over a service template to another cluster. The service template appeared in the surveyor after a restart + working fine, even though the (original) dma id is not part of the cluster.
Checking the service template definition (the XML file), I see that the DMA ID is hardcoded, so this procedure will not work for service templates, unless you tweak the XML files.
Another option is to perform a DELT export.
For correlation rules I didn’t see any hardcoded mapping, so it should be ok (assuming that the settings of the correlation rule doesn’t include any hardcoded link to the DMS where you built the correlation rule)
