This appendix describes fields included in the default Oracle Communications IP Service Activator TopologyExporterConfig.xml files, located in the following directory:

TopologyExporterConfig.xml Fields

Table A-1 describes the configuration fields.

Table A-1 Configuration Fields

Type	Configuration Field	Description
ipsaServer	ipAddress	The IP address where the IP Service Activator Integration Manager is running.
ipsaServer	port	The port where the IP Service Activator Integration Manager is running.
primaryEntry	filenameToWrite	The filename of the XML export file.
transformations	--	Multiple transformations can be performed by surrounding each transformation with the <item> </item> element.
transformations	fileNameToRead	The filename that acts as the source document for the transformation. This entry is usually the filenameToWrite from the primaryEntry.
transformations	xslToCall	The filename of the XSL document that is used for the transformation.
transformations	filenameToWrite	The filename where the transformation is written to.
rootTagName	--	The root XML tag (top-level) that is inserted into the output XML document. The default is 'root'.

Table A-2 describes the output rules fields.

Table A-2 Output Rules Fields

Field Type	Output Rules Field	Description
startFromObject	--	The object type in IP Service Activator that the export starts the cascade from.
objectSubscription	--	Filters which objects are exported.
objectSubscription	subscribe	Identifies which object types to export. If all objects should be exported, insert object type 'all'.
objectSubscription	unsubscribe	Identifies which object types not to export.
attributeSubscription	--	Filters which attributes to export.
attributeSubscription	subscribe	Identifies what attributes to export. If all attributes should be exported, then enter the single subscribe 'all'.
requiresAttributeValue	--	Filters which objects to export based on an attribute value.
requiresAttributeValue	objectType	Type of object the attribute is on.
requiresAttributeValue	attribute name	The name of the attribute.
requiresAttributeValue	attribute value	The value the attribute must have for the object to be exported.
requiresChild	--	Filters which objects to export based on associated child type.
requiresChild	objectType	Identifies type of object to export based on child type.
requiresChild	requires	The type of child object that is required for the above object type to be exported. For example, if the objectType is Customer and requires is set to VPN, only Customers that have VPNs will be exported.
ignoreChild	--	Filters which objects not to export based on whether they are the child of a given parent.
ignoreChild	objectType	Identifies the object type of the parent.
ignoreChild	ignore	Type of child object type that will not be exported based on the above parent type. For example, if the parent objectType is Customer and ignore is set to VPN, any VNP object with a parent of Customer will not be exported.
stopChildCascade	--	Stops cascading one level below a certain object type. For example, if stopChildCascade is given for object type Site, only direct children of the Site object are exported.
stopChildCascade	item	The object type to stop cascading on (note: you will still get one level of children below this object type)
requiresCollectorParameter	--	Filters which objects to export based on whether they are associated with a collector of a certain type.
requiresCollectorParameter	objectType	The object type, typically Device, that is associated with a collector type.
requiresCollectorParameter	collectorType	The collector type that the above object type is associated with. For example, if the objectType is Device and the collectorType is InfoVista Server, only devices that are associated with an InfoVista Server collector are exported.
cascadeMeasurementParameter	--	This is not really a filter. Measurement parameters are not children of objects, but instead have targets to which they apply. To make Measurement Parameters appear as children, the exporter can cascade the xml definition of the MeasurementParameter down to the object which it targets. For example, if cascadeMeasurementParameter is applied to the object type Interface, the measurement parameter will appear under the interface object when it is exported.
cascadeMeasurementParameter	item	The object type that measurement parameters are cascaded on.
