HP Systems Insight Manager 7.3 Update 1 User Guide

You can substitute any number of selected targets by using the repeat block construct, %( ... %).
Anything inside the repeat block delimiters is repeated until the selection list is exhausted, starting
with the current selection and selection index. For example,
https://%{deploy.server%}/deploy/deployimage.jsp?
device1=%n%z%(&device%i=%n%z%)
NOTE: When using the %i parameter, the current selection index (1, 2, 3, and so on) is substituted
for this parameter during the substitution process.
If the end of the repetition clause is reached and no %z parameter is encountered, the selection
index and current election are automatically incremented to avoid an infinite loop during the
substitution phase.
In the above example, if there were two selected target systems, the expanded URL string would
look like this:
https://deploy.hp.com:280/deploy/deployimage.jsp?
device1=nodea.hp.com&device2=nodeb.hp.com
If there was only one selected target system, the expanded URL string would look like:
https://deploy.hp.com:280/deploy/deployimage.jsp? device1=nodea.hp.com
Because there is no current selection when the string gets to the repeat block, the repeat block is
suppressed during the substitution process.
