Hi Dan, not sure if I'm misunderstanding something here. The procedure I described will make use of the search criteria permanently. So there is no need for manual intervention.

I did something similar - did a search and added to GC - BUT what I am looking for is a way to use the datacenter data in a GC rule - so this GC becomes real time - no manual intervention. Our VM environment is dynamic enough I need to automate this [cid:[email protected]] Dan Ellsweig IT Engineer - Enterprise Management Systems 1 Avon Plaza, Rye, New York 10580 Phone 914 935 2723 Tieline 3493 2723 Mobile 845-283-1132 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Please consider the environment before printing From: Franck, Raphael [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 9:36 AM To: spectrum Subject: [spectrum] AW: Spectrum Vcenter Modeling - access datacenter info in attribute Hi Dan, basically it comes down to relational searches within OneClick, which still can't be defined by ourselves unfortunately. However, there a few of them predefined, like "Devices -> Supports Application" or "Virtual Host Management -> VMware -> Virtual Machines -> By Datacenter Name". You might use the function to create GlobalCollections based on Locater searches. Please see the attached picture as a starting point. Beware, there is a little bug when using a list of values (e.g. a list of VMware Datacenter names): once the search/Global Collection I saved and shall be re-edited, it will not show the previously entered list of values. But these values are still stored within the system, so it's mainly an issue with "remembering" what you previously entered.

Februar 2014 13:22 An: spectrum Betreff: [spectrum] Spectrum Vcenter Modeling - access datacenter info in attribute Greetings We are running Spectrum 9.3 and managing multiple Vcenters using the Sysedge VMware AIM. My Vcenter team has done considerable work in defining data centers and environments within the Vcenter. The environments can be as simple as "production", "qa", or "dev". I have a need to create Global collections in Spectrum that contain just "prod" Vm's for a given datacenter. I cannot find an attribute that has the names of the datacenter or environement. There are other examples of topography strings - LocationModelNameString, TopologyModelNameString and collectionsModelNameSrtring are good examples of this. Does anyone have an idea on how to accomplish this??
