To edit a class:
Attribute Type | Icon | Usage |
---|---|---|
Expression | ![]() | Contains a single line REXX command that is executed during resolution. If the expression evaluates to true, in an attribute named ZSTOP, resolution of the current instance terminates. |
Variable | ![]() | A piece of named storage containing a variable value. The variable’s value forms a part of the agent’s resolved desired state, and can influence the resolution process through messaging or symbolic substitution. |
Connection (available)Connection (set) | ![]() ![]() | Class connections determine the path of resolution of an agent’s desired state during the agent connect process. Available connections are attributes into which a connection to another class can be set. Set connections are attributes containing a specification for a connection to another class. A class connection is, in effect, a branch in the resolution process. For more information, see the HP Client Automation Enterprise Administrator User Guide. An Always connection is always resolved, irrespective of the name of its attribute. A Class connection is resolved if its attribute’s name is _ALWAYS_, or if the name of its attribute matches the current value of the system message. An Includes connection is always resolved, irrespective of the name of its attribute. A Requires connection blocks resolution of instances in the required instance and its children whose instance names are identical to instance names in the requiring instance and its children. Requires and Includes connection types are useful, among other things, for expressing inter-package relationships, connecting instances of the PACKAGE Class. When one package Requires another, components of the required package are superseded by the same component in the requiring package. When one package Includes another, both are deployed as a single entity. Note: The letter in the icon denotes the connection type:

Method | ![]() | Methods are programs executed as part of the resolution process. The method attribute identifies the program to be executed. |
You can reset the property settings for the selected attribute to their default values by clicking the default buttons in the Properties group box.
