Create a template

1. Go Process Assembly Perspective
2. Select client 0 
3. in the Template Folder: Create object with Type. The name should be basis for naming convention 
4. Add configurations that should propagate to all new objects 
5. Create UC_OBJECT_TEMPLATE variable: Key = Sub-type & Value 1 = Template name

Please consider as well what Object templates can help the administrator to do:

1. Object Templates

Built-in baseline templates delivered with base AWA configuration

2.  Why Object Templates?

§Easier initial creation and configuration of new operational objects

§Guarantee of compliance with standard/custom naming convention

§Ease of configuration

•Configuration data can be added to templates

•This data is propagated to new objects at creation time

Basically we can say, that this feature is very helpful to create customized templates, where different default settings can be automically set.

Thanks Cyril for posting this.

Just to add to what you wrote - here's how to add a new object template, step-by-step:


Every new object that you create : JOBS, QUEUE, SCRI, JOBP, etc. are copies of their respective templates located in Client 0 > Process Assembly > 'TEMPLATE' folder.

These templates are delivered with the initial data, which is being overwritten every time you perform a software update.
For this reason we do not suggest to modify them if you want the newly created objects to have default values / settings - for instance "all Unix jobs should be generated at runtime".

What you can do instead is create a template of your own with a different name. This will allow you to define the settings you want, without them being lost the next time you update your Automation Engine system.

Here's how to proceed:

1 - Duplicate the existing template and change the object's name and description.




2 - Modify the object to adjust its settings - it can be anything like the default queue, default agent, content of the process tab, etc.
In the example below I'm changing the default settings for runtime and automatic deactivation:

3 - Edit the variable UC_OBJECT_TEMPLATE and add a new entry that will reference this new template:




4 - The new template is now accessible upon creating a new object :






5 - The job has the default settings defined in the new template:
