How Do I Create an XML Configuration File?

You create an XML configuration file in Adapter Management. You can copy the content of an existing XML configuration file to the new file and then make necessary edits.

To create an XML configuration file:

  1. Log in to UCMDB as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to Data Flow Management > Adapter Management. ServiceManagerEnhancedAdapter9.41 > Configuration Files.
  3. Click the Create new resource icon .
  4. Select New Configuration File.
  5. Enter a name for the file. The file name should use this format: <AdapterID>/mappings/<Synch Type>/<filename>. For example: ServiceManagerEnhancedAdapter9.41/mappings/push/SM Computer Push 2.0.xml.
  6. Click OK. A message is displayed, asking if you want to open the file in the Visual Mapping tool editor.
  7. Click Yes or No to continue.

    UCMDB creates the new XML configuration file in the Configuration Files folder of the adapter.

  8. Copy the content of an existing XML configuration file to the new file.
  9. Make necessary edits to the new file.

Caution Invalid XML

When removing XML elements from an XML file, keep in mind that the remaining elements must constitute a valid XML file, which will be used to translate the UCMDB Query Definition.
