loadplatform
Use the loadplatform
program to query connectors for their abilities and populate platform, objoper and objrel database tables with the information. The program also sets the default attributes for the connector platforms by populating attrdef and attrdefval tables. This is particularly useful when custom connectors have been created and the target type needs to be available in the user interface.
When used without the -force argument, it is safe to run. If run with -force it can return to defaults any custom settings in newly created target system configurations, in system attributes, discovery templates, account attribute overrides.
Bravura Security Fabric target systems types are displayed in Type drop-down list on the page. Target types in this list are displayed according to target system category.
loadplatform
is installed in the Bravura Security Fabric instance util directory.
Requirements
The client software required by the specified target systems must be installed or else the platform data for the connector will not be imported to the database.
The loadplatform
program loads a binary executable (.exe), or a scripted platform definition file that calls a binary agent. If you do not specify an .exe or .con extension, the program looks for files with either extension. If both exist, loadplatform
loads the .exe file.
To load and list official scripted connectors, both the scripted platform definition file (.con) and the configuration script specified within the .con file must be located in the agent directory.
Usage
loadplatform.exe -a <connector name> [-dry-run] loadplatform.exe -target [-dry-run]
Argument | Description |
