Asset Management (Administration Console) Policy Group

A new policy subgroup, Asset Management, is added under the Administration Console policy group for specifying the Web Service URL when creating a virtual host inventory collect task.

You can modify the policy parameter values by double-clicking a policy to display the Setting Properties dialog.

The Asset Management policy group contains the following policy:

RVI Edit URL

Specifies whether the Web Service URL can be manually entered or edited in the virtual host inventory collect task. The Web Service URL field is automatically populated in the collect task, that is based on the host name regardless of the value set for this policy.

If True, the Web Service URL field is enabled and you can edit the URL.

Note: If you make subsequent changes to the Host Name field, update the Web Service URL field.

If False, you cannot edit the Web Service URL and the field is disabled.

Default: False, <locally managed>
