Chapter 4 Modifying IPM Components
Adding Components Using Seed Files
Loading Components From a Seed File
To load components from a seed file into IPM:
Step 1 From the IPM Main Window, select File > Open Seed File.
The Seed File window appears.
Figure 4-7 Seed File Window
Step 2 In the Seed File Type field, select Source, Target, or Collector as the type of seed file to load.
Step 3 In the Seed File Name field, enter the name of the source routers, targets, or collectors seed file.
Step 4 Click OK.
The sources, targets, or collectors you defined in the seed file are added to the IPM database. When you
access the Source Configuration, target Configuration, or Collector Configuration window, the changes
you made to the components in the seed file are displayed.
If you do not remember the name of the seed file you want to load, you can view a list of available seed
files from the Seed File window. Select Source, Target, or Collector as the Seed File Type and click
View.
For information about listing, viewing, editing, or loading seed files from the command line, see the IPM
Command Reference.
Viewing Seed File Output Files
When you add a source, target, or collector using a seed file, you create an output file that indicates
whether the addition of the resource was successful. The output file has the same path and name as the
seed file, with the addition of the .out suffix.
For example, a seed file named labsrcfile.txt generates an output file named labsrcfile.txt.out. An output
file contains the same information as its seed file, with the addition of messages that indicate whether
the addition of the resource was successful. For example, if labsrcfile.txt contains the following
information:
a cwb-ipm-1600a public private
a cwb-ipm-1600b public private
a cwb-ipm-1700a public private
