When hovering over a parameter in Cube, additional information is displayed, such as the minimum and maximum values, as well as the step value.
I thought this information was defined through the parameter ranges in the protocol (see: Range element | DataMiner Docs). However, I have encountered a parameter where no ranges are defined in the protocol, yet Cube still displays min/max values in the tooltip.
When comparing the output of GetElementProtocol and GetProtocol in CTT, I see different results:.
-
n GetElementProtocol, the ranges match what is displayed in Cube, and the source appears to be the element:
-
n GetProtocol, the ranges are completely different from those shown in Cube:
This seems to indicate that the range information is being overridden or defined at the element level rather than coming directly from the protocol.
Does anyone know where these ranges can be defined or updated at the element level?
Hi Catarina,
When working on a non-swarming system, every element also has a Description.xml.
I did not check this locally, but this XML seems to be capable of overriding the RangeHigh as well as the RangeLow.
Apart from this, it should be able to override the description, RangeStep and Units.
Could you check if this XML has something defined for your parameters? It should be located in the `C:\Skyline DataMiner\Elements\<YourElementName>\` folder
Hi Catarina,
If you have direct or RDP access to the server where that element is running, can you check the Description.xml file that is inside the element folder?
In this file, you will find if certain parameter ranges and/or descriptions have been modified from the base protocol ones for this specific element.
