Creating a custom report template in an ASP editor

To create a custom report template from scratch, do the following:

1. In your ASP editor, enter the following base structure:

   <%@ Language="JScript" %>
   <!-- #include file="Templates.inc.asp" -->
   <%
   // generate web page here
   %>
   

2. Under the // generate webpage here line, start writing your ASP code.

Passing parameters

Depending on the method that is called, parameters can be passed in a number of different ways.

Passing regular parameters

Regular parameters can be passed like this:

template.doSomething("some string", 123)

Passing name/value pairs

Name/value pairs have to be passed as objects of type “AssocArray”:

template.doSomething(
    new AssocArray(
        'start', 0,
        'element', 'ALL_ELEMENTS',
        'state', stateType,
        'includedElementTypes', includedElementTypes
    )
);

Passing parameters using associative arrays

A clean way of passing parameters is by using JavaScript associative arrays:

template.doSomething(
    {
        start: 0,
        element: 'ALL_ELEMENTS',
        state: stateType,
        includedElementTypes: includedElementTypes
    }
);

Example of a custom report template

<%@ Language="JScript" %>
<!-- #include file="Templates.inc.asp" -->
<%
  Response.Write('<table>');
  Response.Write('<tr>' +
  '<th>Element Name</th>' +
  '<th>Description</th>' +
  '<th>ID</th>' +
  '<th>Type</th>' +
  '<th>Protocol</th>' +
  '<th>Alarm Template</th>' +
  '<th>Amount of open alarms</th>' +
  '<th>Polling Type</th>' +
  '<th>Polling IP Address</th>' +
  '<th>Polling IP Port</th>' +
  '</tr>');
  for (var iElement = 0; iElement < template.getAmountOfElements(); iElement++)
  {
    oElement = template.getElementInfo(iElement);
    Response.Write('<tr>');
    Response.Write('<td>' + oElement.getFullName() + '</td>');
    Response.Write('<td>' + oElement.getDescription() + '</td>');
    Response.Write('<td>' + oElement.getDMAID() + '/' + oElement.getID() + '</td>');
    Response.Write('<td>' + oElement.getType() + '</td>');
    Response.Write('<td>' + oElement.getProtocolId() + '</td>');
    Response.Write('<td>' + oElement.getAlarmTemplate() + '</td>');
    Response.Write('<td>' + oElement.getAmountOpenAlarms() + '</td>');
    Response.Write('<td>' + oElement.getPollingType() + '</td>');
    Response.Write('<td>' + oElement.getPollingIP() + '</td>');
    Response.Write('<td>' + oElement.getPollingPort() + '</td>');
    Response.Write('</tr>');
  }
  Response.Write('</table>');
