Using parameters in search sets

Edit online

Use this procedure to specify parameters in a search set.

Before you begin

You need to understand the following format for specifying parameters in search sets:

${parametername=default value}$

For example:

“$SERVER_IP_ARG_NAME$”

Netcool Configuration Manager supports the use of parameters in Search Sets. Using the full parameter functionality, a user can set up a Search Set with a parameter rather than a defined value.

If any Search sets in your UOW contain parameters, you must assign an actual value to each parameter before the UOW can be submitted.
