EEM Robots have some attributes describing the location which are by default in the following hierarchy: REGION->COUNTRY->LOCATION
This hierachy is used to group the robot in the deployment matrix and in the overview grid of the monitoring UI.
Addtionally the are up to 3 free definable attributes (ATTRIB1, ATTRIB2, ATTRIB3).
Even if there is no UI for maintaining this hierarchy it is possible to:
- Add additional levels in the hierarchy
- Change the order
- Add addtional attributes (up to 3) for an EEM robot that are not part of the hierarchy
- Rename the attributes
Adding additional attributes in the hierarchy
If you want to add another attribute of the EEM Robot describing the location hierarchy like city you can add with transaction SE16 in table EEM_LOC_LEVEL the following entry:
FIELD | ATTRIB1 |
LOC_LEVEL | 4 |
DESCRIPTION | City |
If you want to translate the description into another language than your logon language you can enter the translation into table EEM_LOC_LEVELT like in the example below:
FIELD | ATTRIB1 |
LANGUAGE | DE |
DESCRIPTION | Stadt |
Changing the order
If you want to change the order of the attributes describing the location hierarchy you could add/change the following entries in the table EEM_LOC_LEVEL
FIELD | LOC_LEVEL | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|
LOCATION | 4 | Building |
ATTRIB1 | 3 | City |
ATTRIB2 | 5 | Room |
Again you can translate the description in table EEM_LOC_LEVELT.
Adding additional attributes
If you want to add additional attributes that are not part of the location hierarchy keep the field LOC_LEVEL empty.You can specify for example any other attribute like 'Operating System' or 'Contact Person' with following entries:
FIELD | LOC_LEVEL | DESCRIPTION |
---|---|---|
ATTRIB2 | 0 | Operating System |
ATTRIB3 | 0 | Contact Person |
Again you can translate the description in table EEM_LOC_LEVELT.
Renaming attributes
If you do not want to have the attribute REGION you can rename it for example into 'Contact Person' with the following entry:
FIELD | REGION |
LOC_LEVEL | 0 |
DESCRIPTION | Contact Person |
