Use the Dynamic NE Template editor to define a dynamic NE template entity. The entity uses dynamic routing. Dynamic routing is the ability to route orders based on network and communication data provided as order parameters, rather than using preconfigured static, locally maintained data.
In the Studio Projects view, double-click a dynamic NE template entity to open the Dynamic NE Template editor.
When working with the Dynamic NE Template editor, see the following topics:
Use the Editor tab for defining the values required for connecting to a network element.
| Field | Use |
|---|---|
| Description | Specify a description for the Dynamic NE Template editor. |
| Vendor, Technology, and Software Load | Displays the vendor, technology, and software load for the dynamic NE template entity in the cartridge project. |
| Drop Time Out (minutes) | Select the time in which a connection will drop in the absence of an activity. |
| Maximum Connections | Select the maximum number of concurrent connections allowed to the host network element. |
| Retry Count | Select the Retry Count check box to enable the Retry Count box. From the Retry Count box, select the number of attempts that ASAP can do to reestablish the connection to the network element. |
| Retry Interval | Select the Retry Interval check box to enable the Retry Interval box. From the Retry Interval box, select the time interval between each retry attempt by ASAP. |
| Spawn Threshold (AAs) | Select the number of atomic action requests destined to the network element. The number must exceed the spawn threshold value to open a new connection to the network element. As the number of atomic actions waiting to be routed to the network element continues to exceed spawn threshold, ASAP continues to establish new connections to the network element till maximum connections is reached.
The spawn threshold value is measured in terms of atomic actions. |
| Kill Threshold (AAs) | Select the number of atomic action requests that ASAP must have for a specific network element for ASAP to disconnect one or more connections to the network element.
Note: The kill threshold value should be lower than the spawn threshold value. |
| Throughput | Select the Throughput check box to enable the Throughput box. From the Throughput box, select the minimum amount of time a transaction takes to complete for each network element instance. |
| Transactions Per | Select the unit of time required for transactions.
Note: If you want to select a value, select the Throughput check box. |
| Line Type | Select a connection type that the network element will support.
Note: The value passed through the work order takes precedence. |
| Parameter Label, Value, and Description | In the Connection Parameter Details area, specify the values for the connection details. These values are global parameters. For example, user ID and password of a Telnet session.
Note: Ensure that the same label names and values are used in the NE connection class. |
| Add | Click to add global parameters. |
| Remove | Click to clear the global parameters from the editor. |
