Sample XML files

This chapter describes the XML needed to create and modify repository objects such as notification lists, users, user profiles, tools, escalation policies, console operations, and map icons. The XML files are imported into the repository using the
sm_config
utility. Chapter 11, “Importing and Exporting Configurations,” provides additional information. You must have a strong understanding of XML if you intend to create and manage repository objects using XML.
Sample XML documents are provided to use as a template and can be edited to suit your needs. The following sample files are located in the
BASEDIR
/smarts/conf/ics directory:
  • Tools: actionconfig-sample.xml
  • Notification Lists: nlconfig-sample.xml
  • Escalation Policy: policyconfig-sample.xml
  • User Profile: profileconfig-sample.xml
  • User: userconfig-sample.xml
  • Multiple types of repository objects: ics-config-sample.xml
  • Map Icons: mapgif-sample.xml
    The instance_maptype-sample.xml file is reserved for future use.
    A useful way of viewing valid, complex XML is to export the configurations you make in the
    Global Manager
    Administration Console.
    “Exporting configurations” on page 198
    describes how to export the configuration of a
    Global Manager
