The ItemSyncDefinition attribute is optional. This attribute specifies how the component items are synchronized and displayed in CA Performance Center. If the component items are not specified, they do not display in the CA Performance Center Inventory lists (for example, Device Components). But, they can still be reported on in custom views.
Specifies the item type. For custom components, this value must be “component.”
Can be updated: No
Possible values: Component
Specifies the internal name of the component in CA Performance Center. This value must be unique for all components. Use a naming convention that avoids conflicts with future factory and custom components, such as using a prefix representing your organization, 'acmeFan'.

Instructs CA Performance Center to create an inventory group under Inventory, All Items. This group contains all items of this component type. The group is named '{itemTypeLabelPlural}'.
Note: The inventory group that is created cannot be used for reporting dashboards. Instead, this group is for inventory purposes only. If the group is selected for reporting, then no data displays. Other, device-based inventory groups (under Inventory, All Items) can be used for reporting, such as Routers and Servers. However, component-based inventory groups cannot, such as Device Components.
Can be updated: Yes
Possible values: true, false
Effect of updating: Creates or removes an Inventory group in CA Performance Center. For CA Performance Center group administrators, on the Manage Groups page, the group is created under Inventory, All Items, {itemTypeLabelPlural}.
When does the update take effect: Allow for resync to occur and up to 30 minutes to complete updates.
Required actions for updates to take effect: Items typically appear in the group within 30 minutes. If they do not, manually resync the Data Aggregator datasource. Be sure to select 'Perform a Full Resynchronization' before clicking the Resync confirmation button.
Instructs CA Performance Center to create an inventory menu item (under Inventory) for viewing all items of this component item type. The menu is named "{itemTypeLabelPlural}." This attribute also causes the component type show up in the Context Type drop-down menu when setting a view context. When false, the components are listed in the Inventory, Device Components table with the type of "{itemTypeLabel}." The groupBy property does not create a group (see categorize).
Can be updated: Yes
Possible values: true, false
Effect of updating: The menu item is created when true, or removed when false.
When does the update take effect: Allow for resynchronization to occur and allow up to 15 minutes to complete updates.
