Aim:
- Understanding the objectAutomation Engine controlled activities and processes are structured in the form of objects. See also: Task orientation of the Automation EngineThis component drives an Automation Engine system and consists of different types of server processes.
- Creating folders
- Creating a jobAn Automation Engine object type for a process that runs on a target system.
Activities and processes managed with the Automation Engine are shown in the form of objects. This brings about significant advantages:
What types of objects are available? Refer to the document Object Classes which lists all object types and briefly describes the tasks for which the particular objects can be used. In this lesson and the following ones, various object types are used to familiarize you with the functioning of the Automation Engine and present some suggestions of how you might structure your own processes.
Let's start creating an extra folderTop level entities such as Environment, Deployment Target, Activity, … are stored in folders. The permissions a user has on an entity depend on the permissions that are set on the folder for the entities. for our examples. Note that objects are created, edited and administered in the Explorer.
The next step serves to create a job. This job is then used as the basis for our future examples. Job objects can be used to execute commands on computers or in Enterprise Business Solutions (SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle Applications, Siebel). Commands, therefore, are widely used in this object type. Note that there are individual Job objects available for each supported platform.
The following illustration displays the result in the Explorer:
Now let's focus on the content of the Job object:
