When you modify the device pack configuration file, you specify the values for the basic information in the appropriate section of the device pack configuration XML file.
Navigate to each of the following three sections and specify the values for the device pack that you want to generate:
<Name></Name>
Specifies the name of the device pack to generate.
The value can be any string consisting of alphanumeric characters and _(underscore). Do not start the name with a number or an underscore. The value must not be empty.
This name is shown in CA Performance Center while creating the EMS profile.
All new metric families for this device pack start with this value.
We recommend that you use the following naming convention when you are providing a name for a new device pack:
CA<VendorName><DeviceName>
<DeviceName>
Specifies the short name of the device for which this device pack is needed.
<VendorName>
Specifies the short name of the manufacturer or provider of the device.
Example:
<Name>CAStarentPDSN</Name> - For the PDSN devices of Starent Networks
<Name>CAHuawei2KPTN</Name> - For the PTN devices, version 2000 of Huawei
<Protocol></Protocol>
Specifies how the generated device pack connects to the device or Element Management System to download the files.
The protocol must be either SFTP, FTP, or COPY (case insensitive).
The value must not be empty.
Default: SFTP
Example:
<Protocol>SFTP</Protocol>
<OnFailure></OnFailure>
Specifies the action to be taken when the application encounters an error while processing a CSV file.
The specified action must be either Continue or Stop (case insensitive).
Specifying Continue ignores the current file and proceeds.
Specifying Stop aborts the process and exits from the application.
Default: Continue
Example:
<OnFailure>Continue</OnFailure>
<DeviceType></DeviceType>
Specifies the device type of the EMS host.
The values can be Router, Switch, or Server.
Default: Server
Example:
<DeviceType>Server</DeviceType>
After you have specified the basic information, specify the input file information.
