Automation Engine's Object Orientation

AE shows processes in the form of objects. Each objectAutomation Engine controlled activities and processes are structured in the form of objects. See also: Task is responsible for a work step and represents a certain taskAn executable object that is running. Tasks are also referred to as activities.. This means that processes are composed of various objects on a modular basis.

This concept has tremendous advantages:

Object names can consist of up to 200 of the following characters: A-Z, 0-9, $, @, _, -, .. TimeZone object names are an exception; they must not exceed 8 characters.  

Opening Objects

When you open an object in the UserInterfaceThis is the Automation Engine's graphical user interface. [Formerly called the "Rich Client", "RichGUI" and "Dialog Client."], you will first see its most significant tab.

In jobs, this is the Process tab provided that it includes a content. Otherwise, the Attributes tabopens first.
