Attributes

A user-definable object that can control some aspect of a deployment. For example, you can define an attribute calling it port and set its default value to 1020. This can then be used to configure the communication port for an application. This attribute is set at the time the host Type is created.

This area contains three fields that displays information about the host attributes.

• Attribute - Displays the Attribute name.

• Default Value - Displays the default value for the attribute.

• Attribute Value - Displays the actual value for the attribute. If this value is different from the default value the background color is different from the rest of the values.
