Contacts & Contact Responsibilities

Author: Michelle McCausland

Note: Use the queries in the sections below to learn how these tables are linked together.

Contacts

Contacts are types of users that are assigned to network elements via contact responsibilities.

Contacts and contact responsibilities are utilised in the Tickteter application to denote the owner of tickets ( Smart Users ) or determine the distribution of ticket notifications ( Introduction to email templates (creation, modification) and fields ) .

Information on adding, updating and deleting contacts can be found in the SNMP Manager Admin User Guide which is available on the Errigal support page.


Contact Responsibilities

Contact responsibilities denote a contact's responsibility for a network element.

Information on adding, updating and deleting contact responsibilities can be found in the SNMP Manager Admin User Guide which is available on the Errigal support page.


SQL to retrieve contacts and their responsibilities

For reference only - please verify all SQL statements before executing.

SELECT 
  cr.contact_id as contactId,
  c.first_name, ' ' , c.last_name) as login,
  cr.responsibility_type as responsibilityType, 
  ne.id as elementId, 
  ne.name as neName 
FROM 
  snmp_manager.contact c
  JOIN snmp_manager.contact_responsibility cr ON c.id = cr.contact_id
  JOIN snmp_manager.network_element ne ON cr.element_id = ne.id
WHERE 
  cr.contact_id = <ID OF CONTACT>;

SQL to copy contact responsibilities from one contact to another

For reference only - please verify all SQL statements before executing.

INSERT INTO contact_responsibility (version, element_id, rank, responsibility_type, contact_id)
(SELECT
  0 AS version,
  cr.element_id AS element_id,
  cr.rank AS rank,
  cr.responsibility_type AS responsibility_type,
  [id of contact that is being copied TO] AS contact_id
FROM
  contact_responsibility cr JOIN
  contact co ON  co.id = cr.contact_id
WHERE
  co.id = [id of contact that is being copied FROM]);

SQL to copy contact responsibilities from one element to another

For reference only - please verify all SQL statements before executing.

INSERT INTO contact_responsibility (version, element_id, rank, responsibility_type, contact_id)
(SELECT  
  0 AS version,  
  [id of element that is being copied TO] AS element_id,  
  cr.rank AS rank,  
  cr.responsibility_type AS responsibility_type,  
  cr.contact_id AS contact_id
FROM  
  contact_responsibility cr 
  JOIN network_element ne ON  ne.id = cr.element_id
WHERE 
  ne.id = [id of element that is being copied FROM]);

Useful Info

  • As of the time of writing - 17th May 2017 - There is a constraint in the code that prevents a contact from having more than 1 responsibility type per network element - See IDMS-686
