Solution Tab

This tab is only available when the taskAn executable object that is running. Tasks are also referred to as activities. is an RA jobAn Automation Engine object type for a process that runs on a target system.. It has the name of the related RA SolutionA solution that is based on the Rapid Automation Technology that allows the Automation Engine (AE) to access an external system / application / platform. The RA Solution is supplied as a JAR file that must be loaded into the AE Database and connected with an RA Agent. The specific RA objects (such as Jobs, Connections, Agent) are available in the AE system as soon as the solution has been loaded. and can be used to change the specific attributes and parameters.

The name of the tab complies with the name of the solution (such as FTP). Its content complies with the specific RA tab of the job (for RA FTP jobs, this will be the FTP tab).

You can use this tab to set or change the specific settings / attributes / parameters of RA jobs especially for their run within the 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."].

Similar to the tab that is available for the objectAutomation Engine controlled activities and processes are structured in the form of objects. See also: Task definition, the workflow properties also include a traffic-light symbol which indicates whether the job's agentA program that enables the de-centralized execution of processes (such as deployments) on target systems (computers or business solutions) or a service that provides connectivity to a target system (such as for databases or middleware). An agent is also an object type in the Automation Engine. [Formerly called "Executor."] See also: host is available. This is required to retrieve values directly from the RA agent's remote system.

You can change one or several values by using this tab and then store the workflow. Note that subsequent RA value changes that you might make directly in the Job object will no longer affect the properties of the task as part of the workflow. This means that the RA values in the workflow properties overrule the settings in the Job object as long as the task runs within this workflow. It is irrelevant whether you have only changed one value in the workflow properties or all of them.

Note that deleting values, entries or parameters in this tab has no effect. Any value that you delete here will still be used in the execution.
