Linking a shape to an Asset Manager table
From DataMiner version 9.0.3 onwards, it is possible to link a shape to an Asset Manager table. To do so, create a shape, and add the following shape data fields to it:
| Shape data field | Value |
|---|---|
| Component | IAM |
| AssetConfig | The name of the Asset Manager database configuration that contains the table to be displayed (without the “.xml” extension). |
| Table | The name of the database table. |
| Columns | The comma-separated list of columns that have to be displayed. If you do not specify this shape data field or leave it empty, all columns will be displayed. |
| Filter | The comma-separated list of conditions that have to be used as a row filter. If multiple conditions are specified, a row will only be displayed if all the conditions are met. Each of the conditions must have the following syntax: - ColumnName==Value Note: Value has to be an actual database value. If, for example, you want to specify a boolean value, specify “1” instead of “True”. |
From DataMiner 9.0.4 onwards, the following additional configuration options are available:
| Shape data field | Value |
|---|---|
| Limit | Integer indicating the maximum number of rows. |
| Order by | Name of the column by which to order the table. |
| Options | WhereCombination=AND, or WhereCombination=OR The operator that will be used to combine the filter items in the shape data field of type Filter. Default: AND |
Note
- Dynamic placeholders can be used in each of these shape data fields.
- To specify a column name, ideally, you should use the database column name. However, it is also possible to use the display column name.
