Variables in SubConnections
Hello all,
I was experimentating a little bit in Using Inherited Variables to do some really nice Things:
So for our Small Site Infrastructure Concept says every Small Site has 6 servers which are named as follow:
<3letter_Site_ID>1000
-
<3letter_Site_ID>1006
So i started to make the Session Names depending on the Site Group object.
Session Name = $SITE_NAME$
And this works very well. :-)
But As I deployed the servers using my template (which has Subconnections for the OOB) I figured out, that the variable was not resolved here.
so for the OOB i had something like $PARENT_NAME$-oob.
But for any reason this is now resolved to "$SITE_NAME$-oob" so it does not resolve the variable here.
Does anybody know what i was doing wrong? Or is this a known issue?
I am using RDM 8.0.90
Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Do you think that you could create an Xml with a simple structure like that. I will verify to resolve the site variable.

It would be best to expand it in some way as possible.
For performance reason, we don't expand all the variable when it's only for display

I attached a sample file in which i edited the Domain names a little bit. but the Structure is most likely the same I use.
In my Case it is not only for display. As I name my Sessions like the server name and then refer to the Session name using as Host something like: $NAME$.$MACHINE_DOMAIN$ for the DNS Suffix is the Domain name.

Is there any update about this topic?
Hi,
This is now resolved and will be in the next minor update.
