Using the MDR Launcher › Federation Using GRLoader

Federation Using GRLoader

When using GRLoader, the following XML tags must be populated in every CI in the XML document. These tags apply to every MDR family.

• <mdr_name>
• <mdr_class>
• <federated_asset_id>

Note: CA Cohesion ACM automatically provides mdr_name, mdr_class and federated_asset_id.

If this information is not present in the XML, “launch in context” is not possible because the origin of the CI cannot be determined.

To identify the source of a CI, you can modify the XML before it is input into GRLoader. You can use a text editor to modify the XML and make a global change, or this task can be done programmatically.

Note: For more information about MDR identification and GRLoader, see the CA CMDB Technical Reference Guide.
