Managed attributes indicate those eligible CI attributes for change verification by CACF. By default, this list contains CI name and Any Managed Attribute. You add CI attributes that you want managed as part of your change verification strategy.
Note: For more information about establishing a change verification strategy, see the Administration Guide.
CACF does not consider unmanaged attributes (attributes not listed) for change verification. These unmanaged attributes update as usual. Selecting Any Managed Attribute as the Attribute Name in a verification policy or change specification applies to all managed attributes listed.
Case sensitivity in the managed attribute definition only applies when CACF compares the change specification planned value with the inbound CI transaction data. Case sensitivity does not apply to the selection patterns in the policy, which are always case-sensitive.
Important! By default, CACF manages the CI Name attribute to enable rogue insert rejection. If you inactivate Name from the managed attributes list, executing a transaction that inserts a CI but does not update any managed attributes is considered an unmanaged change. Consequently, this inactivation may cause CACF verification policies to ignore rogue inserts.
Note: For a list of CI attribute names, see the CA CMDB Technical Reference Guide.
