    One option might be using the SCSM PowerShell Cmdlets for this (Add-SCSMEnumeration).

    Hey

    You could use the EnumCreator. See travis blog post --> http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2010/02/10/create-list-items-in-bulk-using-enumcreator-xlsx.aspx.

    Thanks for the answers/ideas.

    Actually i am looking for a C# program to create the new enums. As per the Andreas guided i am looking at the SCSM Powershell Cmdlets source code to find out code to create enums. Please let me know if you see any C# code to create enums.

     

    Thank you.

{
	EnterpriseManagementGroup gr = new EnterpriseManagementGroup("localhost");

	ManagementPackEnumeration parentEnum = null;
	ManagementPack mp = gr.GetManagementPack(mpName, mpKeyToken, mpVersion);

	foreach (ManagementPackEnumeration curEnum in gr.EntityTypes.GetEnumerations())
	{

	if (parentEnum != null && mp = null)
	{
		ManagementPackEnumeration newEnum = new ManagementPackEnumeration(mp, "Enum_" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString("D"), ManagementPackAccessibility.Public);
		newEnum.Parent = parentEnum ;
		newEnum.DisplayName = "New enum";
		newEnum.Description = "New enum from c#";
		mp.AcceptChanges();
	}
}

CreateNewEnum("ChangeStatusEnum", "My.Notsealed.Mp", "", new Version("1.0.0.0"));

    Anton, 

    Thank you very much, your code worked with a small change in my system.

    I am getting below exception if i run the above code,

    XSD verification failed for the management pack. [Line: 0, Position: 0]

    if i changed the

    Guid.NewGuid().ToString("D")

    to

    Guid.NewGuid().ToString("D").Replace("-","")

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Anton ,

    When I am trying to programatically enter value for some of the values it does saves the value in the list , but for some of them error encounters and it displays the following message.Once error is encounted it does not accept any more values.

    || with message: XSD verification failed for the management pack. [Line: 0, gt; System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaException: The value 'AMER.Americas CTO Org' is invalid according to its datatype 'ManagementPackUniqueIdentifier' - The Pattern constraint failed. ---> System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaException: The Pattern constraint failed. --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidator.SendValidationEvent(XmlSchemaValidationException e, XmlSeverityType severity) at System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidator.CheckAttributeValue(Object value, SchemaAttDef attdef) at System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaValidator.ValidateAttribute(String lName, String ns, XmlValueGetter attributeValueGetter, String attributeStringValue, XmlSchemaInfo schemaInfo) at System.Xml.XsdValidatingReader.ValidateAttributes() at System.Xml.XsdValidatingReader.ProcessElementEvent() at System.Xml.XsdValidatingReader.Read() at Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.XSDVerification.ValidateManagementPack(TextReader mpcontents, ManagementPack mp, Boolean throwError) -------------------------------------------------------

    Thanks,S

    Hi Anton,

    As in the code mentioned above :

    newEnum.Parent = parentEnum ;
    newEnum.DisplayName = "New enum";
    newEnum.Description = "New enum from c#";
    mp.AcceptChanges();

    DisplayName value is with space.When I try to enter value for Display Name with space , hypen or ampersand it gives me an error in the code.

    But , when the values with space , hyphen or ampersand is added from UI it is accepted as List Value.

    What changes needs to be done so as to add values from the code which needs to be displayed on UI list with spaces or any special character.

    Thanks,

    Siddhesh.

    I got the solution !!! :

    Replace the special character in EnumTypeName of EnumType.

    The Display names stays as it is with special character.

    (select * from EnumType where EnumTypeName)

    ManagementPackEnumeration newEnum2 = new ManagementPackEnumeration(mp, strParentName + '.' + strChild.ToString().Trim().Replace(" ", "").Replace("-", "_").Replace("&", "and"), ManagementPackAccessibility.Public);
    newEnum2.Parent = parentEnum;
    newEnum2.DisplayName = strChild;
    newEnum2.Description = strParentName + '.' + strChild;
    mp.AcceptChanges();

    Thanks,

    Siddhesh.Bondre.
