What additional temp variable is available in the pattern designer during pattern creation?

The additional temporary variable available in the pattern designer during pattern creation is the CI Type specified during the pattern creation. This variable allows developers to specifically identify the configuration item (CI) type they are targeting with the creation of the pattern. Understanding the CI type is crucial because it helps in tailoring the discovery process to correctly capture relevant attributes and ensure that the pattern behaves appropriately based on the specificity of the CI type.

Incorporating the CI type into the pattern enables more accurate configurations and influences the overall functionality and outcomes of the Discovery process. By defining this variable within the pattern, users can leverage its context throughout the development, leading to more efficient pattern design and execution aligned with the intended discovery objectives.

This capability enhances the accuracy of the data that Discovery gathers about the specified CI type and ultimately aids in building a more effective and responsive IT infrastructure management framework.
