Overview

A Netcool/Proviso property is an attribute or characteristic of an element or sub-element. Typically, a Netcool/Proviso Technology Pack uses an inventory process to collect information generated by the devices, interfaces, and services operating in the technology environment it supports.

A technology pack uses Netcool/Proviso properties for some or all of the following purposes:

•To organize information in reports•To display values in reports

•To construct names such as sub-element names, sub-element instance names, and sub-element labels

The Netcool/Proviso properties associated with sub-elements appear in the Properties list (Sub-Elementview) of the Netcool/Proviso DataMart Resource Editor. See the Netcool/Proviso DataMart Configuration Guide for more information on the Resource Editor.
