User’s Guide

• Wildcarding reduces the number of instances of an attribute that you may

need in a conﬁguration.

A wildcarded attribute in a conﬁguration enables you to use one instance

of the attribute in a conﬁguration to load the same value into many

instances of the attribute in a device.

This reduces the number of instances of a device-component attribute you

may need in a conﬁguration.

• If a device has added or removed components of a wildcarded attribute,

the conﬁguration will still load without error.

What Happens When Loading a Wildcarded Attribute

When you load a conﬁguration with a wildcarded attribute, ECM inserts the

same value in each instance (or only in several, if so speciﬁed — see the

following note) of that attribute in the device.

How to Wildcard a List Attribute

To wildcard a list attribute:

1. Add the list attribute to the attribute conﬁguration list.

ECM searches the selected device model and adds the appropriate number

of attribute instances with their values to the conﬁguration attribute list.

2. Select View by Sequence from the View menu. (If you do not select this

view, ECM places the wildcarded attribute at the top of the list of

instances for this attribute when you wildcard the attribute.)

3. Select an instance of the list attribute in the conﬁguration list after the

instances whose values you want to remain unique.

Selecting a list attribute instance in the conﬁguration attribute list

enables the Wild Attr. button.

4. Click on Wild Attr., or put an asterisk in the Value ﬁeld box and click on

Update.

NOTE

A wildcarded attribute is order dependent. For example, say you have 12

instances of an attribute in a conﬁguration. If you wildcard the ﬁrst instance

of this attribute but leave all the other instances as is, when you load the

conﬁguration, ECM ﬁrst loads the wildcard value in each instance and then

replaces that value as it loads the other instances. This cancels the effect of

the wildcard. Likewise, if you had placed a wildcarded instance last in an

attribute instance list, ECM loads the wildcard value in all the instances of

the attribute that preceded it, cancelling any other values.
