Table 1. disco.convergedTopologies database table schema
Column name Constraints Data type Description

m_TopologyName

  • PRIMARY KEY
  • NOT NULL

Text

Name of the topology to be created from the source topologies.

m_Order

Integer

Order in which to process this entry.

m_SourceTopologies

List of text

Topologies to be used in the merge, by order of most accurate topology first.

m_RetainOverride

Boolean Integer

Controls whether the override flags found in the source topologies are to be put into the merge topology. This value is only relevant when the merged topology is going to be used as a source topology in another merged topology.
  • 0: Do not copy override flags.
  • 1: Copy override flags.

m_UseContainment

Boolean Integer

Provides fine control over whether interface containment information is taken into consideration when merging this particular topology.
  • 0: Do not try to use containment to refine links.
  • 1: Allow links on interfaces higher in the containment to be overridden by any links on interfaces lower down; that is, more physical interfaces.
