Type Mapping

The service mapping maps the OM service type definitions to their CMDB types.

ClosedMapping

Maps the CI to the specified CMDB type that is the concatenated string of the results of the operators. There must not be more than one <CMDBType> element in the <MapTo> section. 

<CMDBType>
    [Operand]
    ...
</CMDBType>

In the following example, all CIs that have an OM Type Exch2k7_ByServer and that have the context exchange assigned are mapped to the CMDB Type exchangeserver.

Example: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Mapping>
  <Rules context="exchange">
    </Rule>
      <Rule name="Map Exchange Server">
      <Condition>
        <Equals>
          <OMType/>
          <Value>Exch2k7_ByServer</Value>
        </Equals>
      </Condition>
      <MapTo>
        <CMDBType>
          <Value>exchangeserver</Value>
        </CMDBType>
      </MapTo>
    </Rule>
  </Rules>
</Mapping>

In the following example, all nodes that have an attribute OSType that starts with the string Windows are mapped to the CMDB type nt.

Example: 

<Mapping>
   <Rules>
    <Rule name="Map Windows Host Type">
      <Condition>
        <And>
          <IsNode/>
          <StartsWith>
            <OMAttribute>OSType</OMAttribute>
            <Value>Windows</Value>
          </StartsWith>
        </And>
      </Condition>
      <MapTo>
        <CMDBType>
          <Value>nt</Value>
        </CMDBType>
      </MapTo>
    </Rule>
  </Rules>
</Mapping>
