Class CMDBAttribute

java.lang.Object
  com.bmc.cmdb.api.CMDBAttribute

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class CMDBAttribute
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

The CMDBAttribute class allows you to work with attributes for a BMC Atrium CMDB class. You can create the attribute with a specified name, entry mode, and ID. CMDBAttributeLimit, which is passed as a parameter for this class, holds the value limits for the attribute and other properties specific to the attribute's type. Value, which is also passed as a parameter for this class, holds the value to apply if no value is provided. After you create an attribute, you can add or remove custom characteristics, perform queries against it, modify its characteristics, and update its limit, name, and namespace.
