Issue/Introduction

 How can I map the origin to the CI in SOI which is of Computer System class. Could the UIM’s origin be mapped e.g. to Tags attribute of the Computer System class in SOI? If yes, how? 

Environment

Release : 4.2

Component : Service Operations Insight (SOI) Manager

Resolution

To propagate the origin field to Tags, you will need perform the following steps..

 

1) Edit \CatalystConnector\registry\topology\physical\<hostname>_CatalystConnector\modules\policy\nimsoftconnector_policy.xml

 

2) Go to the section

 <!-- Computer System CI -->
 <EventClass name="ComputerSystem" extends="Item">

 

Put this line inside the <Format> section

<Field conditional="origin" output="Tags" format="{0}" input="origin" />

 

Once you save the file, you will need to restart the UIM connector.
