Create an OOS template with the process configuration editor

Updated at:

The process configuration editor is a visual tool provided by CloudOps Orchestration Service (OOS) for creating OOS templates. You build the entire process by configuring template elements, without the complex syntax rules and error-prone text formats of writing templates by hand. If a process is too complex to configure visually, you can switch from the process configuration editor to the YAML or JSON editor.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the CloudOps Orchestration Service (OOS) console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Automated Task > Custom Template.

  3. On the Custom Template page, click Create Template.

  4. On the Create Template page, the process configuration editor opens by default. Edit your template in the editor.

  5. Add or modify parameters:

    1. In the Template Parameters (Optional) section, click Add Template Parameters.

    2. Enter the Parameter Name, Parameter Type, Default Value, Business Components, Parameter Label, and Parameter Description.

  6. Edit the basic information of a task:

    1. In the Task Step section, select a task type from the Task Type drop-down list.

    2. To view details about a task type, click the link icon next to it.

    3. Edit the task name and the task description.

    4. Configure the task input and the task output.

    5. Configure the exception handling settings:

      • Process After an Execution Error: defaults to ACS::END (Terminate entire execution).

      • Process After Successful Execution: defaults to ACS::NEXT (Next Task).

  7. Add or modify outputs:

    1. In the Template Output (Optional) section, click Add Output Parameter.

    2. Enter the Parameter Name, Output Type, and Output Value.

  8. (Optional) If your process is too complex to configure visually, switch from the process configuration editor to the YAML or JSON editor.
