Common Tabs
The Properties dialog for every object,
link, and Policy includes two tabs that work the same way on every
item.
General tab
This tab enables you to rename an
object, link, or Policy, and add a description to it.
•
|
Name field – Type a descriptive name
for the item.
|
•
|
Description field – Type a detailed
description of the item. This description is helpful for
documenting the expected behavior of Policies and objects.
|
The
General tab of the
Manage Text
File object and the
Write Web Page object provide
other functionality in addition to the
Name and
Description fields. For a description
of that functionality, see the topics for those objects.
Run Behavior tab
This tab enables you to configure
how the object will be run. This includes how it will behave with
the Databus and how events will be sent.
Note: The Publised Data Behavior
section is only available in Pipeline mode.
Published Data Behavior
When some objects executes they
product multi-valued published data. Sometimes you may want to
prevent this from occuring and parse the data manually as a CSV,
multi-lined, or delimeter separated list of data. By turning on the
Flatten behavior, the object that would normally produce a
multi-valued data would produce single valued data with the
specified separators.
Note: The object will produce a new set
of data every time it runs. The Flatten feature does not flatten
data across multiple executions of the same object.
Event Notifications
The amount of time that must pass
before an Opalis Event is generated for a Policy or an object. You
can generate an Opalis Event if the Policy or object takes longer
than a certain time to run, or does not run at all.
•
|
To generate an Opalis Event if the
Policy or object does not finish running within a certain amount of
time, type the number of seconds to count in the seconds field.
|
•
|
To generate an Opalis Event if the
Policy or object does not run at all, check the Report if the object fails to run check
box.
|
For more information on Opalis
Events, see “Configuring event notifications” in the Administrator Guide.
Security Credentials Tab
Some objects include the
Security Credentials tab.
The Security Credentials
tab enables you to specify whether you will run the object under
the account that runs the Action Server service, or under a
different account. This is useful when the object performs its
actions on a remote computer.
Use the security of the account
assigned to the service

Select this option to run this
object with the account used by the Action Server.
