Batch Customization via AddTool, AddImage, and AddDevType
A-12
Using the AddDevType Utility
Tag/Data Format
To create a file using the multi-line tag/data format, you must place each field name and
the value you want to use in its own line. Field names and their values are separated by a
colon with a space on either side. To specify multiple values for a single parameter (for
example, multiple Class or Topology images), separate the values with commas. Because
each line of data is tagged with its function, you need not use placeholders for optional
fields you do not wish to use. The end of each entry is signaled by a separator line
containing three dots; any additional blank lines between entries are ignored. Note that the
filename cannot contain spaces.
If you choose to use the tag/data format for your input files, you must launch the
AddDevType utility with a special switch, as described in
Executing the AddDevType
Command
,
page A-12
.
The following tag/data formatted file would create a node class called
Famous_MV
. This
sample demonstrates that optional fields you do not wish to use need not appear in the tool
entry; it also demonstrates how to assign multiple values to a single attribute. It also uses
some of the image types created by the example provided in
Creating an AddImage
Input File

page A-6
.

Executing the AddDevType Command
Once you have created the necessary input files, you can run the AddDevType utility via
the Run window, as follows:
1. Make sure NetSight Element Manager and all of its components are shut
down; the AddDevType utility will not run if NetSight Element Manager is
running.
2. Select
Start—>Run
from the Windows
Start
button, then enter the following
command in the
Open
field:
C:\Netsight Element Manager x.x\bin\AddDevType.exe [/M]
[/D] input_filename
where:
/M
or
/m
signals that the input file is in multi-line tag/data format
