CM_NIMBUS_PACKAGE table is empty or does not exist

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

Problem:

The table CM_NIMBUS_PACKAGE is supposed to hold information about the packages deployed to the robots but it appears to be empty or does not exist.

Environment

DX UIM - Any Version
discovery_server 8.40 or higher

Resolution

To enable the population of this table, please follow the steps below:

• Using Infrastructure Manager or Admin Console, access the Raw Configure interface for discovery_server (in IM, hold down SHIFT and right-click the probe to access)
• Within the "setup" folder, add a new folder called "nis"  (do not create at root - it should be underneath setup)
• inside the "nis" folder add a new key:  enable_cm_nimbus_package
• set the value of this key to "true"
• deactivate and then re-activate discovery_server

This will cause discovery_server to create and populate this table, and keep it up-to-date as new packages are deployed.

 

Discovery_server config example

<setup>
   log_async = true
   device_correlation_history_delete_older_than_time = 14d
   loglevel = 1
   device_correlation_history_deletion_interval_minutes = 720
   expire_time = 30d
   <migration>
      display_name_alias_migrated = true
      network_interface_masters_migrated_to_nis = true
   </migration>
   <nis>
      enable_cm_nimbus_package = true
   </nis>
</setup>

 

 

Additional Information

It can take anywhere from 1 to 24 hours for the table to initially populate depending on the size of your DX UIM environment.
