How To Hide MDR Provider Attributes

Some MDR provider attributes do not need to be displayed in the Federated View. Metadata from an MDR provider can be hidden for a particular MDR provider. This option only applies for MDR provider attributes and does not apply for CA CMDB attributes.

cmdbMetadata macro arguments to hide an provider attribute include:

• hide_provider_attr – "YES" – hides the MDR provider attribute
• provider_attr – MDR provider attribute name
• provider_name – MDR provider name
• provider_name_regexp – MDR provider name regular expression

provider_name or provider_name_regexp are required.

Example: Hide an MDR-Only Attribute

The following metadata statement can be used to hide the MDR provider "widget_cost" attribute for all providers named "myMdr".

<macro name=cmdbMetadata  hide_provider_attr="YES" provider_attr="widget_cost" provider_name="myMdr">
