Configuration items

Module configuration items, much like global context items, can be used by processes across modules, provided the modules are within the same grid.

When you use configuration items in processes, they act as constants for processes on a grid. Use BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio or Grid Manager to set the value of the configuration item, and then every process on the grid that uses the configuration item uses the same value. If you use Grid Manager to set a different value for the configuration item, that value applies only to the processes that are run on that grid. If the same module is run on a different grid, the changes do not apply to that grid. You can use Grid Manager on that grid to set the configuration item values as needed.

Configuration items cannot be used in rules or in a transform editor. However, you can assign the value of a configuration item to a context item, and then use that context item in a transform editor to extract some or all of the values for use in activities in the process.

Note

You cannot review or extract any part of a secure module configuration item.

Although you can use Grid Manager to set the value of a configuration item, you cannot use Grid Manager to make structural changes such as add, remove, or rename configuration groups or configuration items. You must use BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio if you want to make structural changes to the configuration.
