Attributes Tab

The Attributes tab is object typeAn individual object is provided for the individual activities: There are User, UserGroup, Notification, Cockpit, CodeTable, Documentation, Event, Agent, FileTransfer, Group, Include, Job, Workflow, Calendar, Login, Client, RemoteTaskManager, Schedule, Script, Server, Sync, Variable and TimeZone objects-specific and only available in "Event" objects.
It can be used to define start parameters.

Object: Event
Object class:
Executable objectAutomation Engine controlled activities and processes are structured in the form of objects. See also: Task

Description

Field/Control

Description

Attributes  

Group

If the Event object should be started by a group, this groupAn Automation Engine object type that integrates tasks so that they can be processed together. can be selected here. If there is no entry, the Event object is activated immediately.

Note that the entry specified in here is not considered if the Event object is started through a Workflow object, a Schedule object or as a recurring task.

Queue Selection of a Queue object in which the file transferTransfers files from one computer to another. A particular Automation Engine object type (FileTransfer object). should be processed. The file transfer automatically starts in the Client Queue (object name: CLIENT_QUEUE) if nothing has been specified in this field.

Int. Account

Specification of an internal account

Contents do not affect the AE system's internal processing. You can access the attribute "Int. Account" with scriptA particular Automation Engine object type. elements and integrate it in your processes.

Parallel running tasks

 

Max ...

Setting that defines the maximum number of parallel executions for this Event object.

Allowed values: 0 to 99999
Default: 0 (no limit on tasks running parallel)

Examples: 

Max. "1" - At any time, not more than one eventAction that is triggered if particular conditions apply. It can be an Automation Engine object type or an entry in a Policy Orchestrator EventBase. execution must be available.
Max. "2" - At any time, not more then two active event executions must be available.
etc.

Else: Wait Abort

Instruction that defines how this Event object should be handled if the execution exceeds the specified maximum number of tasks that can run at the same time.

Wait = The Event object waits until execution is possible.
Abort = The Event object is interrupted.

Runtime Parameters  

AE priority ... (0-255)

Priority that should be used to executed this jobAn Automation Engine object type for a process that runs on a target system. in AE

Allowed values: 0 to 255
Default: 0

The priority the administrator specified in the variableIt stores or retrieves values dynamically at runtime. An individual Automation Engine object type. UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS (key "TASK_PRIORITY") is used if you select value "0".

TimeZone

TimeZone to be used

Generate at runtimeThe duration of a task's execution. It refers to the period between a task's start and end. It does not include its activation period (see also: activation and start).

With this option being activated, the script is not executed at object activation but only when it starts. These can be two different points in time (for example, when the object is executed by a workflowAn object of the Automation Engine that can include several executable objects and which runs them in a specified order. [Formerly called "ProcessFlow" and "JobPlan."]).

Deactivate autom. when finished

The workflow's settings for automatic deactivation apply for event objects that are processed as part of this workflow. These settings overrule the settings of subordinate tasks.

 If the Activity Window includes many tasks that are not automatically or manually deactivated when they are finished, this can negatively affect performance and the Activity refresh cycle.

Never

The event is not automatically deactivated and remains visible in the Activity Window after it has been executed.

After error-free execution

The event is automatically deactivated after its successful execution. Interrupted file transfers remain visible in the Activity Window and must be deactivated manually.

You can additionally specify a particular statusThis represents the condition of a task (such as active, blocked, generating). for the error-free execution and a time delay for de-activation. Do so by using the fields Error-free status and/or Time delay ... Minutes.

If this value is set also via the UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS, the setting in this field will be considered according to the following rules:

  • Task delay time = 0: The setting in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS applies.
  • Task delay time > 0: The setting in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS is ignored.

After an error-free restartA restart refers to the repetition of an object's execution. This action differs from a new start in some parts.

The event is automatically deactivated after a successful restart. Previously interrupted scripts are also deactivated.

You can additionally specify a particular status for the error-free execution and a time delay for de-activation. Do so by using the fields Error-free status and/or Time delay ... Minutes.

If this value is set also via the UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS, the setting in this field will be considered according to the following rules:

  • Task delay time = 0: The setting in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS applies.
  • Task delay time > 0: The setting in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS is ignored.

Error-free status

Status that confirms a successful event execution. If no status is selected, the system-return codes 1900 - 1999 (ANY_OK) represent error-free execution.

Always

The event is always automatically deactivated after it has been executed.

Additionally, you can specify a time delay for a deactivation in the "Time delay" field.

If this value is set also via the UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS, the setting in this field will be considered according to the following rules:

  • Task delay time = 0, The setting in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS applies.
  • Task delay time > 0: The setting in UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS is ignored.

Time delay ... Minutes

The event is automatically deactivated after a specified number of minutes. You can manually deactivate it before this time is over. The time difference only affects events, whose execution also resulted in an automatic deactivation.
