4.2.1 Overview of service property

A service property is a property used by the user who submits a service to specify a parameter necessary for submitting the service, or to obtain the execution result of the service. The following types of service properties exist:

Input property: You can define properties used to store the input values necessary for submitting services. You can define your original properties or use service share properties.

Output property: You can define properties used to store the execution results of services.

Variable: Variables are temporarily set for inheriting values between plug-ins.

Input properties and output properties are displayed as service properties in the following windows:

Create Service window
Submit Service window
Task Details window
Shared Properties Settings area (for service share properties)

Tip: The step properties set to be elevated to service properties in the Flow tab of the Service Builder Edit window are displayed as service properties in the Property tab. You can also create new service properties.
