Cisco Cisco Process Orchestrator 3.0 Guida Utente

Process Orchestrator provides a unique implementation of target properties that allows properties to be 
moved between types. Prior to target types, Process Orchestrator provided a Service Target type, which 
allowed modeling arbitrary services with a single type. This built-in type still exists, and is now called 
“Generic Service.” Upgrades will function with no problem. However, this approach should be used less 
in the future now that new types are possible. 

Using target types, you can:

Create a new subtype of a generic service.

Move the properties in some namespace from the Generic Service to the new type.

Rename the properties to eliminate the namespace and simplify the name.

Move the inheritance from generic service to some new place in the type structure. 

Ship the automation pack for the new type to a customer.

Importing the new pack will upgrade the types and their properties to the new structure, without losing 
the values stored in the properties.

To define properties for a target type:

Choose Definitions > Target Types, highlight the appropriate target type, right-click, and choose 
Properties.

Click the Properties tab, update the properties for this target type, then click OK.

For information about the property field parameters, see the online help.
