Executable objects such as jobs can be processed manually or subject to superordinate objects. They run through four stages which together form the execution of an objectAutomation Engine controlled activities and processes are structured in the form of objects. See also: Task.
In detail, the individual executions depend on activation type, object type and object content.
Executed objects are also referred to as tasks. Hence the processing of objects is described whenever the Automation EngineThis component drives an Automation Engine system and consists of different types of server processes. Documentation refers to tasks.
The terms "Parent" and "Child" are commonly used with objects. An object is referred to as a childA subordinate task (such as a task that runs in a workflow). if it is activated through a superordinate task (parentThere are different ways of activating objects. The originator of an activation is referred to as the superordinate task (parent). See also: Child; Children). An example is a Schedule objectIt starts executable objects periodically. A particular Automation Engine object type. (parent) which processes a FileTransfer object (child).
Two points in time are important during object execution: activation and the start time. During the activation time, the taskAn executable object that is running. Tasks are also referred to as activities. is displayed in the Activity Window. Mostly, tasks do not start immediately because usually they are subject to superordinate objects such as Schedule objects.
When you execute 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."], it's children will not be affected by the workflow's TimeZone setting. Any workflow task-specific changes you want to make need to be made on one of the tabs of the Properties window for each task.
Refer to the chapter "Inside AE" to obtain more detailed information about how the settings made in Workflow and Schedule objects affect processing.
A groupAn Automation Engine object type that integrates tasks so that they can be processed together. must only run once at a time. The number of parallel executions of other executable objects depends on the settings made in the Attributes tab.
For Job objects the statusThis represents the condition of a task (such as active, blocked, generating). "ENDED_OK" will be set as soon as the execution has ended. Post Processing options will not result in a change of the object's status to "ACTIVE".
