Remote Management Just Got Better !
When administrating Service Optimization platform, we use the old Remote Administration snap-in, which was developed using Visual Basic 6.
This snap-in is painfully slow and was designed in an era of smaller systems, so it can handle only small dictionaries and collections.
SOMng ( pronounced "S O Manage" ) is built for Service Optimization systems from version 8.1.9 to the latest 8.3.
SOMng - Features
Paging
Editing object in large collections requires paging of the data. You can set the size of the page and sorting works with most columns, while paging.
Nodes
Editing the left pane tree nodes is done using proper dialogs (not a huge XML editing), so it is easy to add Folder nodes, Objects nodes, Collections nodes and Values nodes.
Events
Disabling events per transaction allows to modify objects without turning off system wide events.
Reference
Referencing an object from large collection (more than 1000 items) is not loading the data into a combo-box, but SOMng validates the item using its Object Reference.
Complex Object Reference
Setting reference to object with complex object reference (multiple properties) is easy, even with large collections.
Empty Value
When empty value under some column is better with (none) or (missing) test, just right-click on the column header to define the Empty Value.
Column Header
Renaming column header is just a simple right-click away.
