Terminology - Computer, Programs and Files

In this documentation, universal typographical conventions apply to all files and 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. names.

Naming Conventions

General

File names can be entered in lowercase letters because in Windows file names are case-insensitive.

Syntax in General

Short file names (8.3) are used on the installation CD in order to avoid problems.
They are structured as shown below:

UCZKxxxx

Z = Purpose
K
= components
xxxx
= individual definition

Purpose

Description

D

UserInterfaceThis is the Automation Engine's graphical user interface. [Formerly called the "Rich Client", "RichGUI" and "Dialog Client."]

S Server Routine (DLL)
X Agent
Y Utility (service program)

Automation Engine Syntax

UCSRVTP

UCSRV stands forAutomation EngineThis component drives an Automation Engine system and consists of different types of server processes. (Automation Engine)
T
= Type - "c" for the communication processA communication process is part of the component Automation Engine. It is responsible for connecting the components., "w" for the work processA part of the component Automation Engine. It is responsible for an Automation Engine system's processes (see also 'Primary work process').
P
= Process

Agent Syntax

An extended syntax applies for agents:

UCXJSSVA

SSV = System ID and Version
A
= Task (only for messenger program and CallAPIA programming interface that processes a script in the Automation Engine system. It can be called directly from within the program itself or from a different program.)

System ID and Version

Hardware, Operating System, Version

B2.

BS2000

B24 SNI, BS2000 Sockets version 1.3
B25 SNI, BS2000 Sockets version 2.1 *

B26

SNI, BS2000 Sockets version 2.3 *

 

*) Automic recommends using the 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 with the latest socket version.
