Managing SMP/E Environments › Group SMP/E Environments by Tags

Group SMP/E Environments by Tags

Putting your SMP/E environments into logical groups can make them easier to manage. An SMP/E environment can belong to multiple groups. You use tags to group the SMP/E environments. For example, you can create a Test tag to group SMP/E environments that are used for testing. You can also create a USER01 tag to group SMP/E environments that are looked after by USER01. After you assign the tags, you can use the Show drop-down list to list the SMP/E environments selectively by tags.

To group SMP/E environments by tags, you assign tags to the SMP/E environments as appropriate through the SMP/E Environments tab.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the SMP/E Environments tab.

   A list of SMP/E environments existing in CA CSM appears.

2. From the list on the right, locate the SMP/E environment that you want to assign to a group. Click the Actions drop-down list to the right of the SMP/E environment, and select Edit Tags.

   The tagging dialog appears.

3. (Optional) If a suitable tag is not listed, click New.

   You are prompted for the name of the tag.

   Insert Name

   Specifies the name of the tag.

   Limits: 24 alphanumeric, #, $, ., and – characters

   Specify the name, and click OK.

   A new tag is added to the list.

4. Select the tags that you want to assign to the SMP/E environment, and click Apply.

   The confirmation dialog appears. The SMP/E environment is grouped with other SMP/E environments with the same tags.

5. Click OK.

   The confirmation dialog closes.

6. Click Close.

   The tagging dialog closes.
