SRM – Simple Resources (not element based)

I get the impression from watching some of the videos that it is possible to create Resources for Bookings that are not based on elements. For ex., to create a list of IP addresses or a list of engineers that might be assigned to a booking.
Creating the resources are easy enough, but the part I'm missing is, how do you get the resources to show up when creating a booking? Since these resources are not coming from a protocol, I'm not sure how to create a Function. And, without the Function, I'm not sure how to get them into a Service Definition.

I'm probably missing something simple, so any push in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Jamie, if your use case is to create pools and resource instances (one-by-one or in bulk) such as people, then we have a good blue print application that does exactly that on ziinedev : https://ziinedev.skyline.be/app/06951cc4-5695-4f6c-a49b-55582d72f611/page/Home

In this app, you have a nice example of how DataMiner users can create objects such as organizations, teams and people. In addtion, teams can be made ‘bookable’ as an optional selection. The latter will automatically create bookable resources in the background, and add capacity and capabilities to those (e.g. ‘Team Expertises’ will automatically translate into ‘SRM capabilities’ to all resources in the pool)

Adding to that, we are generalizing the resource administration in a new app, since there is so many use cases where DM users need a simple way to create resources in bulk. You can use this for any ‘unmanaged resource’ (i.e. resource not linked to a specific element, VF, etc), or resources linked to an element (the latter is on the backlog coming available in 1-2 weeks from now). The app is not in an MVP state yet, but could be used in case you need something almost off the shelf quickly

I’ll be happy to walk you through all of that ! Let me know !

Hi Jamie - not sure, but isn't it simply a matter of creating a resource pool in the Resource Manager, and add the resources in there (without linking those to a function or element)?  In that case you have what is called a virtual resource (not associated with a real element or part thereof).  An example of that would be SDMN.Multicast Adress on Ziine.

I see now, you are not sure how to specific that you need one of those resources for a specific type of booking (i.e. how to make it part of your service definition).

Jamie Stutz [SLC] [DevOps Member] commented 10th June 2023

Getting it in the Service Definition so it is available for selection at booking time is the part that’s tripping me up. I’ll take a look at the Ziine demo you referenced to see if that helps me figure it out. Thanks!
