Create Structure Classes

In addition to the predefined classes, you can create custom Structure Classes. CA Configuration Automation includes parsers that dissect the classes into component-specific attributes and parameters that, for example, define the specific contents of service configuration files.

To create a Structure Class

1. Click the Management link, then click the Component Blueprints tab.

   The Blueprints tab page appears.

2. Click the Structure Classes link (below the main tabs).

   The Structure Classes page appears.

3. Select Create Structure Class from the Table Actions drop-down list.

   The Create Structure Class page appears.

4. Enter the following information in the corresponding field:

   Name

   Specifies a unique name for the Structure Class.

   Version

   Specifies the version number for the class.

   Default: 1.0

   Display Name

   Specifies the name that appears in the structure class table. This name does not need to be unique as in can be differentiated when combined with the release number (for example, Display Name 1.0, Display Name 1.1, and so on).

   Description

   Describes the function or purpose of the class.

   Allow Remediation Jobs

   Specifies whether remediation is allowed for this Structure Class.
