  7. Click Apply and save the Application Properties for a KM. 

 

For KMs that that are compatible with PATROL Agent versions greater than 9.5, when you set the metadata through the developer console, an XML file is automatically generated as shown in the following sample:

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
