Task Editor Automation Tab

The Task editor Automation tab appears for Automation and Transformation task types.

The Automation tab displays a list of automation plug-ins registered against the automated task. When the OSM server encounters the task during run-time it triggers the plug-ins to begin the work that they are designed to perform.

When modeling automated tasks in the Automation tab, see the following topics for more information:

Field	Use
Name	Displays the name of the automation plug-in. Click the value in the Name column to change or edit the name. Note: Design Studio displays the automation plug-ins in the Automation tab alphabetically in ascending or descending order. The order in which the plug-ins appear does not indicate or affect the order in which the plug-ins will perform during run time. When you have multiple automation plug-ins registered against an automated task, you must ensure that the plug-ins are consuming only those messages that are pertinent to the plug-in operation. See "Properties View External Event Receiver Tab" for information about how to filter for specific message properties.
Type	Displays the automation plug-in type. There are two basic types of built-in automation plug-ins: Sender and Automator. Each type can be implemented by an XSLT style sheet or by XQuery. Additionally, you can create your own custom plug-in using the customer plug-in template. See "Working with Automation Plug-ins" for more information. Note: XQuery automation types cannot be implemented when using releases prior to OSM 7.0.
Event Type	Displays whether an automation plug-in receives data from an external system queue or from an internal OSM queue. See "Configuring Automation Plug-in Properties" for more information.
Properties	Select an automation plug-in from the Automation table and click Properties to access the Automation Plug-in Properties tabs. See "Configuring Automation Plug-in Properties" for more information.
Remove	Select an automation plug-in from the Automation table and click Remove to delete the automation from the list of plug-ins registered against the task.
Add	Click to add an automation plug-in to the list of plug-ins registered against the task. See "Adding Automation Plug-ins to Automated Tasks" for more information.
