VB Scripting with Radia Objects

Part 3:

Example 3:

Reading all data from an EDM File

The below script reads all the EDM properties and values from the ZMASTER in the LIB folder.

‘Syntax :

‘GetAllObjectValue(EDM file)

on error resume next
Msgbox GetAllObjectValue(“ZMASTER”)

Function GetAllObjectValue(strObject)
 Set process = GetObject(“winmgmts://./root/novadigm:NVD_Agent”)
 Set method = process.Methods_ (“GetValues”)
 Set inParameters = method.inParameters.SpawnInstance_()
 inParameters.Path = strObject
 Set outParameters = process.ExecMethod_ (“GetValues”, inParameters)
 For i=0 to UBound(outParameters.value)
  GetAllObjectValue = GetAllObjectValue & outParameters.property(i) & ” – ” & outParameters.value(i) & vbcrlf
 Next
End Function

Example 2:

Write to an EDM file

‘Syntax :

‘ SetObjectValue(EDM file,heap,variable,data)

CALL SetObjectValue(“LOCALCFG”,0,”LASTRUN”,Now())

Function SetObjectValue(strObject,strHeap,StrProperty,strValue)
 Set process = GetObject(“winmgmts://./root/novadigm:NVD_Agent”)
 Set method = process.Methods_ (“SetValue”)
 Set inParameters = method.inParameters.SpawnInstance_()
 inParameters.Path = strObject
 inParameters.Index = strHeap
 inParameters.Property = strProperty
 inParameters.Value = strValue
 Set outParameters = process.ExecMethod_ (“SetValue”, inParameters)
End Function

VB Scripting with Radia Objects

Part 1:

Radia objects can be manipulated using Vbscripts. Here I share an Example script for you. Hope this script can give you a basic idea about how you can use vbscript to control Radia Objects.

 Example 1:

 Read an EDM file :

 ‘ Read from an EDM file.

‘Syntax to given: GetRadiaObjectValue (Syntax EDM file,heap,variable)

 On error resume next

MsgBox “LASTRUN = ” & GetRadiaObjectValue(“LOCALCFG”,0,”LASTRUN”)

 Function GetRadiaObjectValue(str_Object,str_Heap,str_Property)

 Set process = GetObject(“winmgmts://./root/novadigm:NVD_Agent”)

 Set method = process.Methods_ (“GetValue”)

 Set inParameters = method.inParameters.SpawnInstance_()

 inParameters.Path = str_Object

 inParameters.Index = str_heap

 inParameters.Property = str_Property

 Set outParameters = process.ExecMethod_ (“GetValue”, inParameters)

 GetObjectValue = outParameters.Value

End Function
