Hi Maik, Hi Dennis,
I have looked at Maiks Code, it looks good. Both Maiks and my code offer a
similar functionality. I would like to outline the differences to my patch
as I see them:
- Integration:
Maiks code is easy to integrate, it does not change the database or patches
the code. It cooperates with the way racktables is designed.
My code needs to be integrated into the Socure. My code relys on changes to
the database.
- flexibility:
Maiks code relys on naming convention, The user has to comply to the naming
convention to maintain the functionality. The Port types are configured in
the code.
My code does not rely on naming convention. Any Port name can be linked an
to any Portname and renamed without breaking the ties. I use configation
stored in the database accessible via the "Port compatibility"
configuration.
I think that Maiks code is the right way to go if you want and Add-On and
do not want to modify the database and the Source code. My code aims to
represent the Cable Chaining in the Database and tries to be Part of the
System Core instead of an Add-On.
I believe that both impelentations and the reponse on the list show that
there is some demand for representing Cable Chaining/routing in
recktables. Looking at closed source datacenter-documentation tools shows
functionality related to Maiks and my work lies in fileds like:
- Calculating cable lenth
- Adding up Servers Power consumption on a PDU
- Calculating impact/dependencys of the loss of (multiplexed) WAN Lines
- Maintaining Cable inventories
My code is in Production in Our Site since August, we have documented about
4 Racks with it, 20 more Racks are to be documented.
My code will need some rework:
- The recursion limit Maik has in his work is a good idea
- I would like to move the recursive query into a database stored
Procedure
- The interface to Query a Port and the Cable chain could be better
integrated.
Maik how do you view these issues ?
Yours,
Manon

Hi Mahomed,
it's a RT plugin i have written (see attchement).
I'm not sure if it works correclty in all cases and how it performs on
bigger installations.
It's only tested on my very small Developmentsystem ( ~30 Objects ,
~25Links).
Feedback welcome.
Kind regards
Maik
