CA ecoMeter Template Builder
The ecoMeter Template Builder allows you to create and modify device templates and export them to ecoMeter Probes where that can be used to define the devices to be polled. The following protocols are supported:
SNMP
IPMI
WMI
BACnet
Modbus
EnergyWise
Upgrades
To upgrade from an earlier version, add the 4.20 version of the Template Builder package to Hub archives. Then deploy the package to the same machine running the UMP. After deployment, add the ecoMeterTemplateBuilder monitoring portlet to a UMP page.
An upgrade replaces any templates of the same name.
Enhancements
OIDs in Value Expressions
An error occurred when a device or ecoMeter OID was referenced in a value expression. This error has been corrected.
BACnet Service Type
In order to help resolve BACnet polling errors, the Service Type attribute was added to BACnet templates. This attribute allows you to select one of two services that uses to communicate with the device:
ReadPropertyMultiple
Who-Is
The service type that you select must be supported on the BACnet device, however most devices support both services. If the device does support both services, you can select either one. If you experience polling errors with the one service, try polling the devices with the other service.
Variable Units of Measure
Unit of measure corrections were made to variables in the following tables:
SvrTable
The unit for the SvrPower variable was changed from kilowatts to watts.
RackPDUTable
The unit for the following variables was changed from kilowatt to kilovolt-ampere:
RackPduApprntPwrPhaseA
RackPduApprntPwrPhaseB
RackPduApprntPwrPhaseC
Third-Party Licenses
Licensing restrictions prevent CA ecoMeter from packaging third-party libraries required for polling WMI devices. These libraries are provided in the ecometer3rdpartylibs archive package which must be added to the robots where the ecoMeter Probe is deployed. After adding the archive package, deactivate and then reactivate the CA ecoMeter Template Builder Probe so that the third-party JARs are loaded.
