1.4.7 General procedure for dynamically or statically setting parameters during automated processing
By mapping service properties to the properties of a plug-in, you can execute processing that maps a value to an input property. You can also assign a fixed value to an input property, or define a service template in such a manner that the output of a plug-in is passed to an output property of a service template or a variable.
This process is not limited to existing input properties or output properties. Users can create new properties and map them to plug-in properties.
You might use this procedure when:
-
In processing that increases available memory, you want to be able to specify how much memory to allocate when executing a service (dynamically setting input properties), instead of using a fixed value.
-
In processing that increases available memory, you want the memory capacity to be fixed at 5 GB each time the service runs (statically setting input properties).
-
When a command is executed as part of a service, you want to extract an arbitrary character string from the standard output or standard error output of the command and display it in the Task Details dialog box (dynamically setting output properties).
