1.7 Published Processors

Published processors are additional processors (over and above those in the Processor Library) that have been installed from an Extension Pack (such as the Customer Data pack) or published onto the server by EDQ users. They are included in the Project Browser so that they can be packaged like other objects.

There are three types of Published processors: Template, Reference and Locked Reference.

Reference Published processors are indicated by a green square on the top-left of the processor icon. Locked Reference Published processors are indicated by a red square in the same position.

Template Published Processors

A Template Published processors can be used like any other processor. By default, its configuration options are set as they were in the process from which it was published, but they can be changed if required.

Note:

The Template Published processor icons are not indicated by a special label on the icon.

Reference Published Processors

The key features of Reference Published processors are:

• They are maintained centrally, that is, any changes made to the original are rolled out to any instances of the processor elsewhere on the system.

• Users can view the configuration of these processors, but cannot change them unless they have the required security permission to do so.

• Locked Reference Published processors cannot be unlocked by any end user, regardless of their permission level. Only the original can be edited.
