Verify a CI Attribute Value Update Manually

The Configuration Administrator determines that your CA SDM environment requires a verification policy for the Memory Installed (phys_mem) attribute. The Configuration Administrator creates a Managed Attribute definition with the Manual Verification will be required status because CA SDM does not have an MDR to discover the value. The Configuration Administrator reviews the managed states and creates a verification policy. The Change Manager views a Change Order that requests an update to the Memory Installed value of a CI, and this change request requires manual verification.

The following diagram explains how a Configuration Administrator establishes a verification policy and how the Change Manager verifies a CI attribute value update manually:

1. Create a Managed Attribute definition.
2. Review the Managed Change states in your environment.
3. Create a Verification Policy for the Managed Attribute.
4. Review the Change Specifications list.
5. Accept the Planned Value.
