Configure and Publish a Custom Operator Group

A custom operator group defines the parameters that are common to a group of custom operators. Content designers (or administrators) use the Settings tab to create a custom operator group. Administrators then use the Group Configuration tab to add the appropriate variables and publish the group to the Domain and its environments. Publication adds the custom operator group to the Modules tab in the Configuration Browser.

Note: After you publish the variables, you configure their values from the Configuration tab. Custom operators automatically inherit the default values of the custom operator group to which the custom operator belongs.

Follow these steps:

1. To open the custom operator editor, double-click a custom operator on the Library tab.
2. On the custom operator editor, click the Group Configuration tab.

   Note: You do not need to check out the custom operator to configure a group.

3. Click Lock to lock the group.

   The Add Variable and Add Page options are enabled.

4. Add variables or pages as appropriate.
5. Click Save Configuration.
6. Click Unlock.
7. Click OK on the following message:

   Group configuration variables published to domain and environment.
   

   CA Process Automation adds the new custom operator group to the Modules tab for the Domain and for each environment in the Domain.

   From the Modules tab in the Configuration Browser, administrators can open the custom operator group that you defined on the Settings tab. From an open custom operator group, administrators can add values to the variables you defined in the Group Configuration tab.

   Note: For more information about configuring values for custom operator groups, see the Content Administrator Guide.
