Input Query Editor Window

Enables you to define which CIs can be Trigger CIs for jobs that run a specific adapter.

To access	Select Data Flow Management > Adapter Management > select an adapter > Adapter Definition tab > Input pane, and click the Edit Input Query button next to the Input Query box.
Important information	To ensure that the Data Flow Probe is always kept up to date with possible changes to the Trigger CI data, you can configure UCMDB to periodically recalculate the Trigger CI data and send any changes to the Data Flow Probe. For details, see How to Configure Periodic Data Flow Task Updates. This option is disabled by default because it can interfere with performance.
