I’m looking at migrating a drawing with alarmed elements from one DMA to another.
Is this possible to do without having to individually migrate each of the elements, re-do the alarm template and then have to re-assign the elements to the drawing?
Thank you.
Hi Alex,
About overviews (Visio files), in order to reuse these overviews on different clusters, you will need to double check that shape data defined on shapes are not pointing to a specific object IDs. For example, reference to DMA ID, Element ID should be avoided. In case of elements, you could reference elements by name. This will allow you to use the same overview on different systems, as long as the element names are the same.
Regarding the alarm templates, the best approach will be creating an application package that contain these items (alarm templates, Visio files).
Another approach is to upload these items individually. For Visio files, you could just upload the Visio file in the new system. For alarm templates, you could upload an alarm template. Alarm templates (XML files) are located in the Protocols folder: C:\Skyline DataMiner\Protocols\Protocol_Name\Production (assuming that you have a version set as production)
Hope it helps.
