Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

In the Controller probe -> "Setup" tab -> "Misc." tab, there are 2 fields, "User tag 1" and "User tag 2" :

User tags are user-defined tags which are used as a grouping and locating mechanism. These tags are displayed in various lists in Infrastructure Manager.

What are the restrictions for inserting data in "User tag 1" and "User tag 2" fields, like maximum number of characters, special characters and spaces?

Environment

UIM 8.5.1
Controller 7.80 or later

Resolution

The user tags info are recorded in UIM DB, in CM_NIMBUS_ROBOT table, inside the "user_tag_1" and "user_tag_2" columns.

These fields are defined as VARCHAR(256). So they can accept alphanumeric characters, with a limit of 256 characters.
