To add an account type, perform these tasks:

• Extend the com.cloupia.lib.connector.account.AbstractInfraAccount class.

• Define values for AccountType and AccountLabel

• Assign mandatory parameters for the AccountTypeEntry. These include setPodTypes, setAccountClass , setAccountType and setAccountLabel

• Complete implementation for Connectivity Test

The code snippet below demonstrates how to provide new Account details.

//This class is used to register a new connector into the UCSD.
AccountTypeEntry entry=new AccountTypeEntry();

//Set implementation class for Account type
entry.setCredentialClass(FooAccount.class);

//Account Type
entry.setAccountType(FooConstants.INFRA_ACCOUNT_TYPE);

//Account Label which will be shown in UI
entry.setAccountLabel(FooConstants.INFRA_ACCOUNT_LABEL);

//Account Category like Compute, Storage, Network or Multi-Domain.
entry.setCategory(InfraAccountTypes.CAT_NETWORK);

//This is mandatory , report generation on context Level for the new account type 
entry.setContextType(ReportContextRegistry.getInstance().
getContextByName(FooConstants.INFRA_ACCOUNT_TYPE).getType());

//Account class like Physical-1, Virtual-2, Network-5, Multi-domain-3 
//or Other-4
entry.setAccountClass(AccountTypeEntry.PHYSICAL_ACCOUNT);

// This will be used along with the account name to show 
// in the System Tasks Report.
entry.setInventoryTaskPrefix("Open Automation Inventory Task");

//Set time frequency to collect account Inventory
entry.setInventoryFrequencyInMins(15);

//Supported POD types for this connector.
entry.setPodTypes(new String[]{"FooStack"});

//To add this account type entry
PhysicalAccountTypeManager.getInstance().addNewAccountType(entry);

// This is mandatory, to test the connectivity of the new account. The
// Handler should be of type PhysicalConnectivityTestHandler.
entry.setTestConnectionHandler(new FooTestConnectionHandler());
// This is mandatory, we can implement inventory listener according to
// the account Type , collect the inventory details.
entry.setInventoryListener(new FooInventoryListener());

//This is mandatory , to show in the converged stack view
entry.setConvergedStackComponentBuilder(new DummyConvergedStackBuilder());

//This is required to show up the details of the stack view in the GUI
entry.setStackViewItemProvider(new DummyStackViewProvider());

// This is required credential.If the Credential Policy support is
// required for this Account type then this is mandatory, can implement
// credential check against the policyname.
entry.setCredentialParser(new FooAccountCredentialParser());
