Joined attributes
Manipulate information that relates to joined attributes
Procedure
- Change the attribute name and help text of the joined attribute can be changed so that they are different from the source attribute:
- Select the attribute in the joined attribute group in the Attribute Group Information pane of the Data Source Definition page.
- Enter the new name and help text.
- The joined attribute can be shown or not shown on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal by selecting or clearing the Display attribute in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal check box. The check box is in the Joined Attribute Information section of the Data Source Definition page. This choice is irrespective of whether the source attribute is shown on the Tivoli(r) Enterprise Portal.
- Any attribute or combination of attributes (that are shown on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal) can be marked as key attributes by selecting the Key attribute check box. This choice is independent of whether the attributes are key attributes in the source attribute groups. The choice is also independent of whether the source attributes are shown on the Tivoli(r) Enterprise Portal.
- Attribute type information for joined attributes is taken from the source attributes and cannot be changed in the joined attribute. In the Joined Attribute Group Information section of the agent editor (Figure 1), click Locate source attribute to go to the source attribute.
Figure 1. Locating source attribute information
Any changes to the source attribute groups are reflected in the joined attributes. If the source attribute groups change, those attributes are automatically updated under the joined attribute group. This automatic update also occurs if a different attribute group is set as the source attribute group. Changes to a source attribute type are copied to the joined attribute. Changes to a source attribute name or help text are copied to the joined attribute. However, such source attribute changes are not copied after you change the name or help text of a joined attribute.
