Service Orchestration: Data Transfer Rules configuration

Data Transfer Rules are implemented using custom Automation scripts.

Configuring regular Data Transfer Rules

When you have added a DTR as described under Adding DTR, you should set the Data Transfer Rules Configuration property of the service definition to a JSON configuration described under Data Transfer Rules Configuration.

Below you can find an example of such a configuration for regular Data Transfer Rules:

{
  "Script": "SRM_DTR_SatelliteReception",
  "Triggers": [
    {
      "NodeLabel": "Satellite",
      "TriggerType": "ProfileInstance"
    },
    {
      "InterfaceId": 1,
      "NodeLabel": "Demodulator",
      "TriggerType": "ProfileInstance"
    },
    {
      "NodeLabel": "Demodulator",
      "TriggerType": "Parameter",
      "ParameterName": "Modulation"
    },
    {
      "NodeLabel": " Demodulator ",
      "TriggerType": "Resource",
    }
  ]
}

In this example:

  • Script: The name of the script.

  • NodeLabel: The label of the node in the service definition triggering the script.

  • TriggerType: The type of trigger of the script. The following values are supported: ProfileInstance, Parameter, or Resource.

  • InterfaceId: Optional. The ID of the interface triggering the script. Only applicable when TriggerType is Parameter or ProfileInstance.

  • ParameterName: The name of the parameter triggering the rule. Only applicable when TriggerType is Parameter.

The class modeling the rules is Skyline.DataMiner.Library.Solutions.SRM.Model.DataTransferRules.DataTransferRulesConfiguration.

Configuring service profile Data Transfer Rules

To create a service profile Data Transfer Rule:

  1. Create a service profile DTR script based on the example script delivered with the framework (SRM_ServiceProfileDataTransferTemplate).

  2. In the Services module add a Service Profile Data Transfer Configuration property to the service definition:

    1. Select the service definition.

    2. Go to the properties tab at the top.

    3. Click Add to add a property.

    4. In the New property box, specify the property name Service Profile Data Transfer Configuration.

  3. Set the property value to a JSON string referencing the script. For example:

    {"Script":"SRM_ServiceProfileDataTransfer_Preencoding"}
Note

When the selected service profile definition/instance does not refer to one or more nodes of the service definition, the GetUnmappedFunction method must be used to access data from those nodes (i.e. the selected resources).
