Note:

In this section,BASEDIR refers to the base directory for the Service Assurance Manager.

The BASEDIR/smarts/conf/ics/ics-default.xml file is the configuration file for the Global Manager. This file designates which dxa files are used to transfer events and topology from the Network-Resource Manager, IP-Perspective Manager, and IP-Analysis Manager into the Global Manager. The ics-default.xml file will contain a separate section for each of the three Domain Managers. Each section indicates the dxa file that is used for that particular Domain Manager.

In this example, the models of the Network-Resource Manager, IP-Perspective Manager, and IP-Analysis Manager have all been enhanced with the new Router attribute. However, only one Domain Manager should transfer that attribute to the Global Manager. In this example, only the Network-Resource Manager will transfer the new attribute to the Global Manager.
