Hello,

Is there any way to get the list of Protocol not in use from System Center - clean up unused?

Thanks

If I understand correctly you want to export the list of unused protocols to a file? This is not available out of the box but should be doable through an automation script.

Some things you might need:

  • Sending an SLNetMessage
  • new GetInfoMessage(InfoType.Protocols)
  • A list of all elements in your system and their protocol name + version
  • Iterations comparing the list of protocols to the list of elements and their protocols.
  • Some extra filtering (there will be some special protocols in there that are inherent to DataMiner)
  • Download button interactive automation script component

Note: sending SLNetMessages is at your own risk and these messages are subject to change at any point when you upgrade your system.

Hello Toon,

Thanks for your answer. I was looking for an easy (click and collect) solution.
I will go for the automation process.

Thanks

Hi Bruno,

Another way to get the same results is using the class library. For example, you could proceed as follows:

  • Get all the protocols using GetProtocols. This method return a collection of IDmsProtocol objects
  • Get all elements using GetElements. This method returns a collection of IDmsElement objects. Interestingly, one of the properties of the IDmsElement object is the protocol (returned as IDmsProtocol object)

I believe with these two data sources you can determine which protocols are not used.

Hope it helps.

Hello Miguel,

That is how I did it, but as mentioned, I was trying to find an easiest way (like a Skyline tool or eventually any option on Cube).

Thanks!
