Custom attributes

Custom attributes are named data values that you can create and set for patch policies. They provide a way for you can save additional information about patch policies. You can use custom attributes in a variety of ways including in scripts, network and server configuration, notifications, and CRON script configurations. When you set a custom attribute for a patch policy, it is available to all servers attached to the policy. For more information on custom attributes, see the SA 10.51 Use section.

Adding a custom attribute to a patch policy
