Using Service Discovery › How to Create Unmanaged Relationship Policies › Define the Target CI Criteria

Define the Target CI Criteria

The Target Criteria page lets you define the filtering criteria for the target CI in the relationship.

Follow these steps:

Note: Page fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.

1. Select the USM type of the target CI from the Class drop-down list in the Target pane.

   Note: Selecting Entity as the USM type matches all CI types.

   Consider the following:

   • The Attribute drop-down list displays a subset of the USM properties available for the selected type. Also, certain attributes such as MdrProduct attributes and date/time data types are not supported and do not appear in the drop-down.
   • When you select a USM type, all available derived types in the USM hierarchy are also included. For example, when you select the ComputerSystem type, its child type VirtualSystem is automatically included in the policy.
   • For USM property definitions, see the USM Schema Documentation that is provided on the CA SOI Bookshelf.
2. (Optional) Select a USM attribute, comparison type, and attribute value for the expression. If you want to add all CIs of the selected type without adding attribute criteria, skip to Step 5.
3. Click Add.

   The criteria are added to the expression, which appears in the logic tree and as an expression in the field at the bottom of the page. CIs of the specific type must meet the attribute-based criteria to match.

4. (Optional) Repeat the steps to add additional criteria and logic. CIs of the specified type must meet the attribute-based criteria to match.

   Note: For more information about using advanced logic with multiple target criteria, click the Hints link.
