How use ASL to list the Managed State of all objects of a given Class in Smarts IP

To list the Managed State of all objects of a given Class in Smarts IP using ASL, do the following:

1. Create a file that contains the following ASL script:
   
   Note: The Interface class specified in the following script can be replaced with any valid class.  See the Smarts ICIM_v15_infra_chart.pdf for classes that can be queried:
   
   START {}
   do {
           list = getInstances("Interface");
           print(list);
                           foreach obj (list) {
                                           objRef = object(obj);
                                           manstate = (objRef->IsManaged);
                                   print("Object ".obj. " isManaged=" .manstate);
                                                                   }
                   stop();
   }
   
   
    
2. Copy the ASL script file to the following directory:
   
   <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/local/rules/utils
   
    
3. Run the following command against the domain required, specifying the ASL script file created as in the following example:
   
   <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/sm_adapter -s <DOMAIN> utils/file.asl
   
   
4. The output of this ASL script should display as follows:
   
   Object IF-11.1.1.1/33 isManaged=TRUE
   Object IF-192.168.5.51/192.168.5.51 isManaged=TRUE
   Object IF-11.1.1.12/11 isManaged=TRUE
   Object IF-11.1.1.70/100010 isManaged=FALSE
