Issue/Introduction
This knowledge document discusses how to add additional attributes to the Spectrum Modeling Gateway cmdb export
Environment
CA Spectrum all versions on all operating systems
Resolution
The following are the instructions to add the Location attribute id 0x23000d and ContactPerson attribute id 0x23000c to the Spectrum Modeling Gateway cmdb export output:
1. Log into the SpectroSERVER system as the user that owns the Spectrum installaiton
2. Make a backup of the $SPECROOT/SS-Tools/.cmdbresource.xml file
3. Edit the .cmdbresource.xml file and add the following tags highlighted below:
<CMDBAttributeMapping>
<CMDBAttribute>description</CMDBAttribute>
<SPECTRUMAttribute>0x12c03</SPECTRUMAttribute> <!-- USER_AssetDescription -->
</CMDBAttributeMapping>
<CMDBAttributeMapping>
<CMDBAttribute>location</CMDBAttribute>
<SPECTRUMAttribute>0x23000d</SPECTRUMAttribute>
</CMDBAttributeMapping>
<CMDBAttributeMapping>
<CMDBAttribute>contact</CMDBAttribute>
<SPECTRUMAttribute>0x23000c</SPECTRUMAttribute>
</CMDBAttributeMapping>
When the Modeling Gateway cmdb export is run, you should now see "location" and "contact" in the output IF the model has these attributes populated:

<class>Network Switch</class>
<mac_address>00:10:7b:36:89:99</mac_address>
