MACAddress attribute, ProtocolEndpoint
Hello again listers, more strange behavior in the CMDB world. In the ProtocolEndpoint class, there is a field called MACAddress with a field ID of 260140111. But this field is not listed in the CMDB Class manager in either the ProtoclEndpoint class nor its superclass. Very strange. Can someone confirm that field ID number please? How would I go about making that field show up again? Delete it using the Admin tool? Recreate it using the Class Manager? For some reason, I can't run a replace function in an EIE job into this field, even though I tested the function in an active link, so I know it's set up right. I was going to increase the length of that field from 12 to 20 or so, but I can't, 'cause it's not listed in the Class Manager Drew Shuller ERCOT Taylor, TX ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: Where the Answers Are
Re: MACAddress attribute, ProtocolEndpoint
Hi Drew, The MACAddress is an attribute of the BMC_LANEndpoint class. The LANEndpoint class is a categorization subclass of the Protocol Endpoint class. Any attributes of the LANEndpoint class will therefore manifest themselves as fields on the BMC.CORE:BMC_ProtocolEndpoint_ class. I'd suggest that you use the LANEndpoint class in your AIE transfer.

Re: MACAddress attribute, ProtocolEndpoint
Thank you Peter, I'll try that. I was looking up to AP rather than down to LanEndpoint. I bet I'll find that attribute in the Class Manager so that the max length can be changed to something more than 16. The reason being is that the EIE replace function (to get rid of the colons in the MAC) doesn't have room to actually do the replacing. It's always the simple stuff that trips me up!
