Create a Service

To create a service, run the GCEventAddCmd batch program with an XML file that contains the <Service> tag and appropriate property tags with corresponding values. The template tag structure is as follows:

<Services> 
	<Service> 
	  ...
	  ...
	</Service>
</Services>

Note: For a complete list of USM property tags, see the USM schema to determine which USM properties are required for this class of CI.

The following example lets you create a service called MyService by running the batch program as follows:

GCEventAddCmd -hSOIserver.ca.com:7090 -fMyService.xml

The example uses the MyService.xml file that includes the following information:

<Services> 
	<Service>
	  <property tag="eventType" value="AddService" /> 
	  <property tag="MdrElementID" value="MyService" /> 
	  <property tag="className" value="Service" /> 
	  <property tag="ServiceName" value="MyService" /> 
	  <property tag="ServiceVersion" value="0" /> 
	  <property tag="Description" value="Adding a new Service" /> 
  	  <property tag="AdministrativeStatus" value="Managed" /> 
	</Service> 
</Services>

The USM properties used in this example XML file are as follows:

eventType: Specifies the type of event. For this example, the value is AddService.
MdrElementID: Specifies a unique identifier for the service. For this example, the value is MyService.
className: Specifies the USM class name. For this example, the value is Service.
ServiceName: Specifies the name of the service that distinguishes it from others. For this example, the value is MyService.
ServiceVersion: Specifies the version level of the service. For this example, the value is 0.
Description: Specifies a detailed description of the service. For this example, the value is Adding a new Service.
AdministrativeStatus: Specifies the high-level status of the service. For this example, the value is Managed.
