Loading a subnetwork defined in XML

All you have to do is create a data source using the data source default implementation defined by IltDefaultDataSource and pass the XML file to the parse method of the data source, as shown below:

 

dataSource = new IltDefaultDataSource();

dataSource.parse("SubnetworkXMLFile.xml");

For detailed information about data sources, see Data sources.

How to define a subnetwork in an XML file

The following is an example of a subnetwork defined in XML format. For details about the XML elements used in this example, see Elements in an XML data file .

The example creates a network element with identifier SubNetwork1. This network element is automatically interpreted by the network component as a subnetwork when you add the containment relationship using the XML tag <parent>.

The example creates a network element as a subnetwork that contains two children objects connected by a link.

• Add the subnetwork

   

  <addObject id="SubNetwork1">

    <class>ilog.tgo.model.IltNetworkElement</class>

    <attribute name="name">SubNetwork</attribute>

    <attribute name="type">NMW</attribute>

  </addObject>Add the subnetworks.

• Add the child objects

   

  <addObject id="SubNode1">

    <class>ilog.tgo.model.IltNetworkElement</class>

    <parent>SubNetwork1</parent>

    <attribute name="name">BSC1</attribute>

    <attribute name="type">BSC</attribute>

    <attribute name="position" javaClass="ilog.cpl.graphic.IlpPoint">

      <x>580</x> <y>80</y>

    </attribute>

    <attribute name="objectState"

  javaClass="ilog.tgo.model.IltAlarmObjectState">

      <alarms>

        <new severity="Warning">2</new>

      </alarms>

    </attribute>

  </addObject>

   

  <addObject id="SubNode2">

    <class>ilog.tgo.model.IltNetworkElement</class>

    <parent>SubNetwork1</parent>

    <attribute name="name">BTS2</attribute>

    <attribute name="type">BTS_Image</attribute>

    <attribute name="position" javaClass="ilog.cpl.graphic.IlpPoint">

      <x>620</x> <y>180</y>

    </attribute>

    <attribute name="objectState"

  javaClass="ilog.tgo.model.IltOSIObjectState">

      <state>

        <administrative>ShuttingDown</administrative>

        <operational>Enabled</operational>

        <usage>Active</usage>

      </state>

      <alarms>

        <new severity="Warning">4</new>

      </alarms>

      <procedural>Reporting</procedural>

      <repair>UnderRepair</repair>

      <performance state="Output">150</performance>

    </attribute>

  </addObject>

• Create a link connecting the two child objects

   

  <addObject id="SubNode1-SubNode2">

    <class>ilog.tgo.model.IltLink</class>

    <parent>SubNetwork1</parent>

    <link> <from>SubNode1</from> <to>SubNode2</to> </link>

    <attribute name="name">InternalLink</attribute>

    <attribute name="media">null</attribute>

    <attribute name="objectState"

  javaClass="ilog.tgo.model.IltBiSONETObjectState">

      <state>ActiveProtecting</state>

    </attribute>

  </addObject>
