Defining remediation options in the Rule Editor

The Remediation panel lets you specify the actions to take for a compliance rule.

When a Compliance Job runs, it uses the compliance parts on a target and compares them with the compliance rules specified for that component template. If the parts on a target do not satisfy a compliance rule, remediation is possible. You can choose to ignore the failure for this rule, make no remediation on a component at all, or deploy a BLPackage to resolve the issue.

If you deploy a package, you can specify values for any local properties assigned to the BLPackage. When you assign values to the BLPackage, you can choose as a value a local property assigned to the component template. By doing so, you essentially map a component template property to a BLPackage property. If you have defined property instances for the component template, a remediation job applies this BLPackage to all of those instances if any instance fails this compliance rule.

For an example demonstrating how to ensure application compliance using compliance rule remediation and other component-related functionality, see Using-component-templates-to-ensure-compliance-for-multiple-instances-of-an-application.

   The macro unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup from Confluence is no longer available.

   If you selected the Deploy the following BLPackage option for remediation of the compliance rule, do the following:

   • For Package, click Select an object from the Depot to navigate to the BLPackage that you want to deploy to correct this rule failure.
   • Check Allow Auto-remediation if the BLPackage you identified in the previous step should be automatically deployed when this compliance rule is not satisfied. This option is dimmed if you did not check Allow Auto-remediation on the General tab of the Component Template definition (see General tab for a component template).
   • If the BLPackage that you are deploying includes local properties, you can use the Properties list to edit their values. First select the property to edit. Then, click in the Value column and enter a new value. Alternatively, you can click Reset property to default value to enter the default value for this property.
     If any property in the list requires a value, you must provide one before you can complete this panel of the Compliance Rule Editor.
