Editing Composite Parameter Expressions

This task describes how to edit a composite parameter expression.

Before you begin

You must be using a BMC PATROL Console in developer mode. 

Understand the syntax rules for composite parameter expressions. For more information, see Syntax-rules-for-COMPOSITES-parameter-expressions.

To Edit a Composite Parameter Expression

  1. Choose KM Commands > Edit Expressions from the Composites menu located on the Composites application icon. BMC PATROL displays the Edit Expressions dialog box.
  2. Select the name of the composite parameter you want to edit and click Edit.
  3. Edit the expression as follows:
    • To change the relational clause, edit the expression in the text entry dialog box manually. For more information, see  Syntax-rules-for-COMPOSITES-parameter-expressions.
    • To add a relational clause to the expression, click Wizard. You are then prompted to select a Boolean operator to join the clauses.
  4. Click Done to complete the changes. BMC PATROL displays the Save or Discard dialog box.
  5. Click Save to save the changes. The PATROL KM validates the expression after you click Save and displays any problems.
