The Automation objects are application components that define configurable elements of a CA Process Automation package. These objects define system operations and include runnable software. Create and configure CA Process Automation automation objects in the Library Browser in specific automation library folders that are associated with a specific Orchestrator.
You can take the following actions in an automation library:
You can create the following automation object types in the Library Browser:
ProcessA process object graphically depicts the order of and the dependencies between operators and some other processes. Processes represent operators graphically with links that show the sequence and logic behind the steps that the process performs.
ScheduleA schedule object applies date and time conditions to when modules (including processes) run. To group tasks by application, ownership, or other criteria, use multiple schedules.
CalendarA calendar object defines rules that describe complex date conditions. A calendar object graphically specifies dates, time intervals, and conditional elements that determine when and how frequently the product performs operations.
Custom IconA custom icon object specifies graphic images that uniquely identify operators.
Custom OperatorA custom operator object lets you extend the presentation and configuration of existing operators. You can base a custom operator on an existing operator and then optimize it with specific parameters that are designed for reuse in various processes.
DatasetA dataset object defines and groups variables that the product uses as parameters that other processes, operators, and resources require. Examples include application locations, passwords, and profile names. You can easily configure these variables so that the product can update processes and scheduling efficiently to reflect changes in an application environment.
PackageBeginning in CA Process Automation 04.2.00, the package object is no longer available to bundle shortcuts to other automation objects. Packages are not available for reference through any of the CA Process Automation object browsers. To export and then import content that is unmodifiable from one environment to another in release 04.2.00, use a content package.
Content PackageThe content package automation object bundles the CA Process Automation objects that a content designer exported as a content package. The content designer adds the automation objects to a folder and exports the folder as a content package. The production user can view the imported content packages from the Library or from the Operations tab.
Process WatchA Process Watch object lets users define and monitor selected applications in the production environment. A Process Watch object is a collection of shortcuts to other automation library elements. A user can open a Process Watch object to view the state of process instances and other objects. A Process Watch object lets a user monitor operators without necessarily permitting access to underlying objects or data.
ResourceA Resource object is a model that represents elements of your system architecture. Use them to synchronize independent processes that rely on common infrastructure elements and to quantify and control access to the specific IT entities. Include multiple resources that represent related entities in a single Resource object.
Start Request FormA Start Request Form object defines shortcuts to let a production user start processes manually. A custom dialog prompts users for the values of parameters that are required to start their associated processes.
Interaction Request FormAn Interaction Request Form object lets you prompt users to provide responses in data fields and other user interface controls. Users enter the required information to continue a process. For example, use an Interaction Request Form to prompt a stakeholder to review each step in an approval process.
