Input Parameters

UCFBrokerURL

Defines the UCF Broker URL of your Catalyst server. Defaults to the UCF Broker URL in the Catalyst configuration.

Specify the Broker URL of the Catalyst Broker Service as:

http://<hostname>:7000/ucf/BrokerService

MdrProduct

Unique identifier of the connecting product.

MdrProdInstance

Unique identifier of the instance of the connecting product as registered in the UCF Broker. CA Process Automation queries the UCF Broker for the list of connectors available and populate this field. You can then select your connector from the drop-down list.

Create

Indicates whether the operator:

• Creates an object

  Or

• Updates an existing object.

Itemtype

Specifies the USM type of the object that is created or updated.

Values:

Alert, ComputerSystem, Router, Service, and so on.

For example:

itemtype=ComputerSystem

Properties

The operator parameters contain the properties of the USM type.

Customizing the Properties

The Properties form can be customized using the "Product property configuration file name". If the MdrProduct and itemtype values match an entry in the "Product property configuration file name", then the form displays according to the following rules:

• If the property is not defined in the USM type, then it is a custom property and that property is added to the form.
• If the property is defined in the USM type, then it is added to the form.
• If the property is defined in the USM type and it has an alias name, then it is added to the form using the alias name.

  For example, this entry displays the Alert form as shown.

  <!-- SCOM  -->
  <MdrTypes MdrProduct="CA:00031">
      <TypeMap name="Alert">
        <Mapping propName="MdrProdInstance" aliasName="siloHost" />    
        <Mapping propName="MdrElementId" aliasName="Id" />    
        <Mapping propName="UrlParams" aliasName="" />    
        <Mapping propName="SeverityTrend" aliasName="" />    
        <Mapping propName="RelatedAlerts" aliasName="" />    
        <Mapping propName="AlertedMdrProdInstance" aliasName="siloHost" />    
        <Mapping propName="AlertedMdrElementID" aliasName="MonitoringObjectId" />    
        <Mapping propName="Summary" aliasName="Name" />    
        <Mapping propName="Message" aliasName="Description" />    
        <Mapping propName="Assignee" aliasName="Owner" />    
      </TypeMap>
      
  </MdrTypes>
  

  The tooltip of properties with alias names indicates the USM property name.
