Import Orion maps to EOC?

Does anyone know how to import Orion maps to EOC? I know you can move the basic format over by changing the file extension from .OrionMap to be .EOCMap.

This means the map can be opened in the EOC map maker, however no node details are carried across in the migration.

I have several hundred maps I would like to use on our EOC as apposed to the Orion's web interfaces on remote pollers which is slow and also stops and overall view. Some of my maps are very complex and i don't really want to go around and add all nodes back into the maps.

This problem could be alleviated if maps could be used as objects (like nodes) in the EOC map maker from other Orions.

I find this very frustrating that that this is not built into the EOC as standard, we were also never told this was an issue???

I'm not sure this is legit or not but I just created a copy of one of my Orion Maps inside the EOC Map Maker. There was a section called NetObjects at the top and SWNetObjectID thoughout the files that had data in the following format:

Orion Map Maker: "N:603"
EOC Map Maker: "N:603-O:5"

I renamed all the objects in the Orion Map to match the other format and the map loaded. I then opened it in EOCMap Maker and saved it and so far everything seems good.

I only did this for a map from one of our servers, I haven't tried the other yet. Also the only problem I've noticed is the link from the devices has an extra "/" in it but it is that way from Maps created strictly in EOC as well. Edit: This was caused by the way I defined my server... I had a / at the end of the website. SW Staff: If you read this, it might be something you want to look into.

Edit: Interfaces were a little different... You have to specifiy I:1111-N:100-O:5 My map would not display correctly until I fixed them in the editor.

Now that I've gotten into this, I think I understand why it would be difficult to make a converter. You'd have to be able to probe everything on the server you're hitting to pull the required information. Our maps are very very simple and typically only have a handful of nodes listed.

Importing of NPM maps is not allowed in EOC 1.0, but it's coming in the next version of EOC.

good to hear, any idea when the next release will be around roughly? will it convert maps entirely? i just need to know weather to start re doing ours or wait fro the new release?

I expect (but I'm not promising) the first half of 2009.

The goal is to have a new Map Maker tool that is shared between Orion and EOC, with EOC able to import Orion maps.
