Target Settings

The Target field in the Execution Settings section of the Properties palette specifies where the operator runs. Use the following guidelines when you specify a target in the Target field:

• If the target is an Orchestrator, enter its touchpoint. You can leave the Target field blank to target the Orchestrator that is running the process.

  Note: Do not specify the IP address of a computer hosting a clustered orchestrator.

• If the target is an agent, enter its touchpoint. If the touchpoint is mapped to multiple agents with the same priority, the exact execution target is selected for load balancing.
• If the target is a specific agent and the touchpoint is mapped to multiple agents, enter its agent ID.
• If the target has no agent but the target has a proxy touchpoint, enter its proxy touchpoint.
• If the target is a remote host that a host group references:
  • Select the Match target in Host Groups only (Enabled) drop-down menu option.
  • Select the Lookup DNS when matching target in Host Groups (Enabled) to identify the DNS if you are matching the target in the host group.
  • Select Target is a calculated expression. Create a dataset that references an IP address or FQDN of a host that meets the pattern criteria of a host group.
  • Enter the dataset reference to the IP address or FQDN in the Target field.

  Important! Use a dataset for the IP address or FQDN if the process with this operator is destined to be imported as a content package. Only a dataset can be modified in this scenario. That is, the Target field entry cannot be modified after import.
