What?

This class is very similar to the lnkConnectableCIToNetworkDevice. However, with this implementation, ConnectableCI should be linkable to other ConnectableCIs. (ConnectableCI = parent of DatacenterDevices such as NAS, NetworkDevice, Server, SANSwitch, StorageSystem, TypeLibrary...)

Additional info can be added, such as:

• comment
• link type (USB 3.0, RJ45, optical fibre single or multi mode, ...)
• patch label

⚠ This alters default iTop classes. In the "Network devices" tab of a Connectable CI, it replaces Link Connectable CI / Network Device. In the "Devices" tab of a Network Device, it replaces Link Connectable CI / Network Device. It doesn't remove this old class though!

With some work (for example CSV export/import), you can copy most of your old data from the lnkConnectableCIToNetworkDevice to lnkConnectableCIToConnectableCI.

Upgrade notes

If you used the jb-ipdevices class before, you can run this query on your database:

use itop;
UPDATE lnkconnectablecitoconnectableci 
SET device1_id = connectableci_id, device1_port = device_port, device2_Id = networkdevice_id, device2_port = network_port
