Specifying monitor drillbacks

Drillbacks are configured based on drillback view definition files. These files are XML files delivered by applications that must be uploaded to Infor Ming.le in the Admin Settings/Manage Drillbacks configuration.

For details, see the Infor Ming.le documentation.

For each alert, standard drillbacks are generated from the view definition files for views with a level BOD that is associated with the document name that generated the Alert. The standard drillbacks work only based on the document ID.

To use drillbacks with several parameters or drillbacks based other types of view definitions, you can add monitor drillbacks with custom configuration. These drillbacks are generated in addition to the standard drillbacks.

To configure custom monitor drillbacks:

Select the Drill Backs tab in the monitor configuration.
Click Add to start the drillback configuration window.

Specify this information:

Application: Select an application name from the drop down list. These names are extracted from the drillback view definitions previously uploaded in the Infor Ming.le Admin Settings.
View: Select a view from the list attached with the application selected before. The View parameters are added automatically in the lower part of the window.
View parameters: There are three standard view parameters and one or more view-specific parameters. Each parameter can be filled with a predefined value, or mapped to a monitor attribute. To specify a predefined value, select the Value option. To map to a monitor attribute, select the Attribute option.

Note:

If an attribute that is used in a drillback is a repeating attribute and it occurs several times in a document. The first occurrence only is used to generate one drillback in the alert.

If an attribute that is used in a drillback is not present in a document, and an alert is generated for this document, this happens:

If the view parameter is required, this drillback is not generated.
If the view parameter is optional, this drillback is generated and does not contain this parameter.


Parameter Type	Description
Standard parameters	These are the standard parameters: Logical ID - must be filled with the Logical ID of the application to drill to. The value must start with `lid://` Accounting Entity - this parameter is optional. You can specify a value of the accounting entity, or leave it blank. Location - this parameter is optional. You can specify a value of the accounting entity, or leave it blank.
View-specific parameters	Often there is one parameter that identifies the document number, but a view can have any number of parameters. Consult the documentation of the application that delivered the Drill Back Views file about the meaning of each parameter.

Click OK to save the new drillback configuration.
Specify the label of this drillback link in the drillbacks list view.
Optionally, add translations. The specified label is used to show the link in the alert details.
Save the monitor.
Note:
- Infor Ming.le UI for Alert drillbacks shows a list with a maximum of 30 drillback links.
- You cannot define custom drillbacks for monitors that use the rule of type multi-occurrence.
- Custom alert drillbacks that are generated for an alert are not visible in Reports, PulseAlert messages, email notifications, events sent to OneView.
