Using Direct Feed

A direct feed source of service model data is any application, executable, script, or rule that sends service model data directly to the cell.

Sending service model data to the cell from the mposter CLI command, or MRL rules is enabled by default. This is controlled in the mcell.conf configuration file by the ServiceModelDirectFeed parameter, which is set to Y (yes) by default. To disable DirectFeed, change this parameter setting to N (no). The mcell.conf file is located at <installationDirectory>/pw/server/etc/<pncell_hostname>/mcell.conf.

Because direct feed is enabled by default, when a cell starts, the service management data is loaded.

Management data that comes from DirectFeed cannot be referred to by a service model that is published. Publication fails if the referred management data is not published.
