• Value is any combination of text, integers, and wildcards that is
matched against the value of the attribute in the managed element. The
Value field for a matching criterion is not case-sensitive.
If the value of a managed element’s attribute matches a matching criterion,
the managed element is eligible to become a member of the group. When
more than one matching criterion is specified, a managed element must
match all criteria to become a member of the group.
Adding or Removing Matching Criteria
1 Select a matching criterion.
2 Click Enable to make the criterion active, moving it to the top of the
Matching Criteria tab.
Use Disable to deactivate the criterion, moving it to the bottom of the
Matching Criteria tab.
3 If you are adding a matching criterion, type a matching pattern in the
Value field.
4 Click Apply.
5 Select Reconfigure from the Group menu.
Changing the Value of a Matching Criterion
1 Select the string in the Value field or double-click the Value field to
highlight the current value.
2 Type the text, integers, or wildcard to match against the attribute.
3 Click Apply.
4 Select Reconfigure from the Group menu.
A Domain Manager processes matching criteria in the following manner.
First, managed elements are compared against the matching criteria of the
group with the highest priority. If an element matches all the criteria, it is
added as a member of the group. If an element does not match all the
criteria, it is compared against the matching criteria of the group with the
second highest priority, and so on.
Method for Modifying the Parameters of a Setting
The parameters of a setting are changed in one of two ways: by (1)
choosing a value from a drop-down menu or (2) entering a value in a Value
field or adjusting a slider bar representing a range of values.
