Add Criteria

You can add criteria to the data synchronization configuration file to expand the data values that are selected for data synchronization.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a criteria node by adding the following statement under the existing criteria nodes:

   <Criteria apmattribute="value" value="value" />
   

   Note: Perform the following steps to identify the values that are needed for this statement.

2. Execute the following query on the CA APM database using a database client tool:

   select class_name, attribute_name, table_name, field_name 
   from arg_attribute_def where class_name='object_name';
   

3. In the query results, copy the attribute_name value that was generated in the previous step. Paste this value in the new criteria node statement as the apmattribute value.
4. Provide the criteria values by completing the following steps:
   1. Execute the following query:

      Select field_name, table_name from arg_attribute_def where class_name = 
      '<apmsyncclass value>' and attribute_name = <apmattribute value>.
      

   2. In the query results, select the field_name from the table_name.
   3. Copy the field value and paste it in the value="value" parameter from Step 1.

   Note: Create a separate criteria node for each unique value that you want to synchronize.
