Create and Set Global Properties

You can create and set global properties in the Administration console in Oracle Management Cloud.

After you create a global property, it becomes available for all the entities present in the tenant. Setting the value of a global property for an entity allows you to group or filter the entities based on the property value.

For example, if you want to filter your Oracle Database entities by location, then you can create a global property called location, and set different values (such as Austin or Chicago) for that property for different Oracle Database entities.

Create a Global Property

1. Select Administration in the Management Cloud navigation menu.
2. Select Entity Configuration in the Administration navigation menu, then click Global Properties.
3. Click Create New Global Property.
4. In the Create New Global Property dialog box, enter the display name of the property and click OK.

The property is created and is now available to be used by an entity in the Oracle Management Cloud tenant.

Set the Value of a Global Property For Entities

1. Select Administration in the Management Cloud navigation menu.
2. Select Entity Configuration in the Administration navigation menu, then click Global Properties.
3. In the Select Entities dialog box, select the entities for which you want to set the global property value and click Select.
   The Global Properties page is displayed with the list of available global properties in the tenant.
4. In the selected entities in the New Value field adjacent to the property name, enter the global property value that you want to set for the selected entities, and click Set.

   Note:

   If a global property is set with different values for different entities, then (mixed) is displayed in the Value column for that property.

The value of the global property is now set for the selected entities.
