1.7 Setting shared service properties
Shared service properties are properties that are shared by more than one service.
For example, when you use a group of service templates whose common objective is to manage a particular server, you can define the host name, user ID, and password of that server in service share properties. This prevents you from having to enter the same server information each time you submit a service for execution.
There are two types of shared service properties: ordinary shared service properties associated with specific service templates, and shared built-in service properties defined in advance in JP1/AO.
- Shared service properties
-
When you import a service template, the shared service properties are added to the list in the Service Share Properties view, and are deleted when the service template is deleted.
The parameters and default values in shared service properties depend on the service template.
You can set the parameters and default values arbitrarily when you create the service template.
Shared service properties also appear in the Service Definition and the Submit Service dialog boxes, where permitted by user permissions and the service template settings.
- Shared built-in service properties
-
Shared service properties defined in JP1/AO in advance are called shared built-in service properties.
Shared built-in service properties appear in the Service Share Properties view of the JP1/AO interface after you install JP1/AO. You can set the property values arbitrarily. Because shared built-in service properties apply system-wide, they do not appear in the Service Definition and Submit Service dialog boxes for individual services.
