Following the leading XML version and tool-list tags, type the tool name tag of

define the tool for HP SIM and the user (the description and comments will be displayed in

The include-filter element specifies which hardware and/or operating system filters will be
applied. For this example, enter the include-filter data as shown below.

7.

Following the include-filter element is a block element that is the heart of the tool and includes
the command(s) to be executed. Enter the ssa block element as shown below. It will copy the
file to the specified destination and execute it there. In the example, the HP Security Patch v.1
executable is given the filename hpsecurity_patch.exe.

NOTE:

The <destination> must be a directory that exists on the Managed Node. The default

file permission value used by DTF for a file copy operation is 755. If another permission is to
be used, an explicit file permission command such as chmod should be included in the copy
block element for security reasons.
