Facility Category
The Facility Category defines the type of facility. This is generated by the Facility Service.
- REMDEV*— Remote device
- COMMDEV* — Communication device
- EXPDEV* — Import/Export device
- DDSFAC — A facility that is linked to a device (but is not a device)
- GENFAC — A facility that resides only in the PNT
- SERVICE — A service-level facility. In most instances, this is the facility of a SVCMON Service point, such as a point to monitor the status of a CygNet service (for example, MYSITE_VHS).
- SITE — A site-level facility. In most instances, this is the facility of a SVCMON Service point, such as a point to monitor the status of a CygNet site (for example, MYSITE).
Note: For "category" values of device types (REMDEV, COMMDEV, or EXPDEV), the facility is owned by the Device Definition Service (DDS) rather than the Facility Service (FAC), therefore edits to certain attributes (site, service, id, is_active, desc) must be made in the DDS. See DDS-Owned Facilities for more information.
