I'm struggling to get the correct conditions for a hide/show in a Visio for a service.
This Visio sits on top of a service that is constructed using a Service Template. There is the possibility of 1 of 2 different encoders (different drivers). We want to show only the encoder that is configured for the service and hide the other one on the visio.
I had added some property values to specify if the encoder element was in use but I haven't had any luck so far. We have the added difficulty of the need for this to be dynamic per service, as the template and visio are used across over 100s services.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Hey Randy,
Thank you for your response, any help is much appreciated.
1) We are using 1 services template with a single visio
2) Yes it contains the ability to have either and will include the Element if the field is not N/A for example
3) They are different manufactures of encoders so a different driver. The rest of the flow is the same.
Hi Rebecca,
I noticed that this question has been inactive for some time now. If this has been resolved in the meantime, could you select the best answer to close the question?
Hi Rebecca,
I think I had a similar situation; I am using a service template to deploy services that have two types of IRDs (2 protocols) as part of the service.
To make the Visio generic, for the graphocal elements, I used the
Show Shape Data :
<A>-A|Element:[property:IRD_ElementID_A]|PROTOCOL|=CISCO D9854
and
<A>-A|Element:[property:IRD_ElementID_A]|PROTOCOL|=CISCO D9800
I had a customer in a similar situation who had 8 different Sat Receivers (8 different protocols) used for 900 services and had the same issue and did not want to use 8 different service templates. So what your trying to do is possible.
A few questions for clarification:
1) You want to use one Visio on one Service Template.
2) The Service Template has both Encoders as elements?
3) When you say different drivers. Are these different protocol drivers for different type/make of encoders or is it just different versions of the same protocol for the same type of encoder?
Thanks – Randy
I will go back an look
