Set preferences before you test an attribute group.
About this task
Before you start testing an attribute group, you can optionally
set some preferences that determine how attributes are treated during
testing.
Procedure
- Select from the Agent Builder menu bar.
The Preferences window
opens.
- Select Agent Builder.
The preferences that are associated with testing attribute
groups are shown:
- Show data types changed dialog when testing
- When selected, Agent Builder suggests changes to the data type
of an attribute. Agent Builder suggests changes when the data type
of an attribute does not match the data that is returned by a test
for that attribute. For example, if the string length defined for
an attribute is too short to hold a value that is returned by a test.
In this example, Agent builder suggests redefining the attribute to
have a longer string length. When this option is cleared, Agent Builder
does not check or suggest data types during testing. This option is
selected by default.
- Maximum script or log attributes created
- The value that is entered in this field determines
the maximum number of attributes that Agent Builder parses during
the initial test of a log file or script attribute group. The default
value is 25.
- When you are finished setting your preferences, click OK to
save your settings and close the Preferences window.
If you want to restore the default settings, click Restore
Defaults before you click OK
