[users] Tools to create/modify imm.xml

[Carroll, J. R <jam...@lm...>]

Hi,

We are using OpenSAF 5.2, and have the following general questions for new users of OpenSAF:

1)    Are there any tools available that allow for the straightforward creation and maintenance of an imm.xml file?

2)    Are there any recommended approaches, common guidelines, or documentation, on how to create and maintain an imm.xml file?

3)    As a consideration, one of imm.xml files is over 20,000 lines long, due to the large number of processes that run on the node.    Just a minor change to this file can be quite burdensome.  Unwinding all the SGs, SUs, SIs, CSIs, etc., for just a single component becomes very messy.

4)    As another common example in our environment, we often find that one particular application is behaving badly, so we just need to remove it from the imm.xml, and verify that everything else comes up ok.  And then, when we are ready, we add the buggy one back in.  This type of change occurs quite frequently, as new capabilities and features are added.   What is the "recommended way", based on OpenSAF user experience, to accomplish this task?

Thanks

Jim
