How to update the composite genie instances with new template

Hi community !

Is it possible to change the composite genie template and automatically update the instances to the new template keeping entered paramets ?

I would like to modify Meter genie to dynamically show/hide alarm limits based on instance configuration tag. I suppose the correct way will be to create a copie of sa_meter\alarm_limits_xxx_x genies, add required functionality and then modify meter composite genie (with new GUID) to include customized alarm_limits genies.

Finally i will have to update all my standard meter instances with new composite genie. Is there a way do do this automatically?

  • Hi Petr,

    Yes starting with a copy is the better option (just make sure you change the ID). If we made changes to our Composite Genie templates or genies, say for bug fixes, they would be done in a non-breaking way. As it is a XML file (not a graphics file) merging of changes is significantly easier.

    If a breaking-change was necessary we would most likely consider publishing a version 2 of the particular template.
