Administer Operator Categories and Custom Operator Groups › Operator Categories and Operator Folders

Operator Categories and Operator Folders

Operator categories correspond to operator folders. Administrators configure operator categories on the Modules tab, starting at the Domain level. Content designers expand operator folders to display a group of operators in the named category. The Operators palette in the Designer tab displays Operator folders.

Click the Configuration tab, select Domain, and click the Modules tab to list the operator categories under Name.

Note: The Name list can also include published groups that are created for custom operators. Content designers can expand these group folders to display a group of custom operators in the named configuration group. Configuration group folders that are displayed here for custom operators are also displayed in the Operators palette in the Designer tab.

Click the Designer tab, click View, and select Operators to display the folder names that reflect the same operator grouping as the operator categories you configure.

Content designers select operators from the Operators palette to create automated processes. Each operator performs a specific operation. To assist designers in quickly locating the appropriate operator, CA Process Automation groups the operators in categories that represent common use. For example, all of the operators that are used for file transfer with FTP are grouped together in a folder named File Transfer.

You configure the operator category values at the Domain level. The values are inherited at the environment level, and then at the Orchestrator or agent touchpoint level. You can override inherited values at any level. The operators then inherit the operator category default values. Content designers can accept or override these values.
