Attribute Transform Handling

The Attribute Transformations are handled at the report level. If you want to customize the attribute transforms of the components, edit the report using Crystal Designer.

The CA CMDB Export Report handles attribute transforms for the following components:

BOXI_GRLoader Arguments for Japanese Platform

The syntax of the BOXI_GRLoader Program Parameters for the Japanese platform is as follows:

-s http://<ServiceDeskhostname>:<ServiceDeskPortNumber> -u <servicedeskuser> -p <servicedeskpassword> -i <Absolute Path of CMDBExport.xml> -tf <Location of japanese translation file> -n -a -N <GRloader Classpath> -ad model=default -ad manufacturer=default

Example

-s http://TestSDM:8080 -u servicedesk -p Password -i C:\GRLoader\xml\cmdbexport.xml -tf C:\GRLoader\GRLoader\xlate_en_to_ja.rul -n -a -N C:\GRLoader -ad model=sample -ad manufacturer=sample

Note: CA SDM requires the model and manufacturer tag in the BOXI_GRLoader, Program Parameters, Arguments list. If you specify only one tag in a CI, the export fails with one of the following errors in the CMDB Export XML file:
