Configuring Element Criteria

Use this task to specify a criteria for one or more element attributes to which you want to apply changes on your targeted devices before you execute the global parameter work order. If there is only one attribute for a system-wide element, no criteria needs to be specified for the global parameter work order.

Note:

An element attribute is dynamic and changes depending on its type for which you are setting a criteria. Some elements may require that a criteria is specified for certain element attributes before the global parameter work order is executed.

1. Expand the Configuration Manager slider and click Global parameters.
2. Click the Admin tab and select the global parameter work order, which contains the global parameter configuration for which you specify the criteria, from the Work orders table.
3. Click Edit.
4. Click the Global parameters changes tab and select the element name for which you want to specify criteria and click Set criteria.
5. In the Set criteria dialog box, click Add.
6. In the Add criteria dialog box, enter the CLI attribute name.

   Note:

   The Add criteria dialog box automatically prompts you for the exact attributes that make up the primary key for the selected type of configuration element attribute. The element attribute is specified by using whatever “key” attribute values are appropriate for its type. For example, the key for a session agent is hostname.
7. Enter the specific criteria needed.

   Note:

   You must know which values are considered valid for the particular attribute for which you are setting a criteria.
8. Click OK. The criteria is added to the Criteria column in the Configuration table.
9. Check the Apply change to all instances check box to apply the criteria that you add to all element attributes of this multiple element.
10. Click OK.
11. Repeat the previous steps if you want to set multiple criteria element attributes.
12. Click Apply.
13. In the success dialog box, click OK.
