You can use a Service Assurance topology export utility to convert text-format service and group definitions to XML-format definitions and write the definitions to an XML service-group import datafile. The final location of this XML service-group import datafile must be the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/ics directory in the installation area.
To automatically convert text service and group definitions to XML:
-
Consult “Specifying text or XML datafiles” on page 85 and select the text service and group import datafiles that you want to convert to XML.
-
Consult “Reloading service and group elements” on page 92 and load the topology elements defined in the import datafiles selected in step 1 .
-
In the installation area from which the source Global Manager is invoked, go to the BASEDIR/smarts/bin directory and type the following command on one line:
dmctl -s <Global Manager name> invoke ICS_ConfigurationManager::ICS-ConfigurationManager exportConfigFor BIM_Topology > <BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/ics/name of XML datafile into which to write the service-group definitions> dmctl -s < INCHARGE-SA > invoke ICS_ConfigurationManager::ICS-ConfigurationManager exportConfigFor BIM_Topology > /opt/InCharge/SAM/smarts/local/conf/ics/service-group-data.xml -
If prompted for a username and password, specify your user account; for example, to specify the default administrative account, type username admin and password changeme.
If you want to convert text-format weight definitions to XML-format definitions and save the definitions to the BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/ics/weights-conf.xml import datafile, you can do so manually by following the classweightconfig format defined in the bim-config.dtd.
