Pattern is an optional property, as per the dtd management-rule (event)
takes property <!ELEMENT event (description?, property*)>

I don't define it. This is one of the optional properties used when we
create a management rule of event type timer. I'm attaching the GUI
screenshot with this, just for you to take a look at how the current UI
is with Date String, and Pattern specified. Calendar component will be
used for Date String. Once you create the management-rule, this is how
the property (name=value) is written in domain.xml

 <management-rule enabled="true" name="mgmtRule">
    <event level="INFO" record-event="true" type="timer">
            <property name="datestring" value="12/12/07"/>
            <property name="pattern" value="mm/dd/yyyy"/>
    </event>
</management-rule>
