Avocent MergePoint Infrastructure Explorer actions

Avocent MergePoint Infrastructure Explorer (AMIE) actions let you incorporate AMIE functionality within Asset Lifecycle Manager, and lets you track assets already in AMIE without having to import them into ALM. These actions are described below.

For information on setting up an AMIE synchronization package, see http://community.landesk.com/support/docs/DOC-7240.

This action lets you get a UDP value.

• Action name: The name of the action.
• AMIE integration server: The AMIE server to be made available to workflow actions in ALM, as defined in Settings. Select a pre-defined AMIE Integration Server or a field mapping for this value.
• AMIE asset name: The name of asset in the AMIE system.
• Property name: Select a property name for the action to retrieve from AMIE. Can be Mounting slot, Plan name, Rack asset ID, Rack name, or UDP.
• UDP name: The name of the UDP value you want to get.
• Results: The field where the results of the action are placed (see Inserting fields).
• Authentication: (Advanced) Enter the AMIE integration server credentials. If you are selecting a pre-defined AMIE Integration Server defined in Settings, the authentication will already be populated.

Set AMIE UDP properties

Lets you set UDP values within AMIE.

• AMIE asset name: Name of asset in the AMIE system.

• Value: Type the UDP value to be assigned to the name, or select the value by clicking Choose field.
