Component Object Types

Component objects are contained in other objects. They are not installed directly in a Work Area but only through the objects in which they are contained. If a component object is not installable, its parent object is not installable either.

The following component objects have a status:

• Notification: A Notification definition is always installable.

• Notification Instance: A Notification instance is also always installable. If no primary timeout period is defined, the system uses zero (0) as the default, and the installation of the Workflow instance in which it is contained does not fail.

• Parameter: A Parameter definition is always installable.

• Parameter Instance: A Parameter instance is always installable.

• Parameter Set: A Parameter Set definition is always installable.

• Parameter Set Instance: A Parameter Set instance is always installable.

• Planned Output: A Planned Output is always installable.

• Source Code: A Source Code definition is not installable if it does not contain a source code file.

• Source Code Instance: A Source Code instance is not installable if its Source Code definition is not installable.

• Table Descriptor: A Table Descriptor is not installable if its source Table definition is not installable.

• Variable: A Variable is always installable.
