To create a Catalyst Attribute Profiles Profile

1. Click the Administration link, the Catalyst tab, and then click the Profiles link.

   The Catalyst Attributes Profiles tab page appears.

   Dynamic

   Specifies whether CA Catalyst, the CCA connector, and consuming products are dynamically notified of the following events in CA Configuration Automation:

   • A server, service, or component is added or deleted.
   • A server is added to, or deleted from a service.

   Default

   Specifies that this profile is the default profile for the scheduled Catalyst Attribute Profile jobs.

   The Attributes page appears.

4. Click the plus sign next to one or more of the following attribute types in the Attribute pane:
   • Server
   • Component
   • Relationship

   The selected node expands to display the attributes available for that attribute type.
