Properties Tab for Service Components

For more information about modifying the attributes of a service component, including its Display Name, Description, Processing Order, and Consumer Visible and Pattern settings, see Overview Tab for Service Components.

Concepts

The following information is displayed:

Item Description
Type

Determines the kind of value that can be assigned to the property. The available types are:

  • Boolean
  • Integer
  • List
  • String

You cannot change the type once the property has been created.
Display Name The label that will be displayed for the property. Hover the cursor over a display name to show the unique name (Name) and description (if supplied) of the property.
Value

The value of the property. What is entered for the value depends on the property type:

  • Boolean - A property whose value is true or false.
  • Integer - A property whose value is a positive or negative whole number (or zero). The Resource Type and Unit for a Measurable Property, if configured, is displayed in parentheses (see Create Component Type Properties for more information).
  • List - A property whose value is a list of string values.
  • String - A property whose value is a sequence of characters.

If the property has a property mapping, the value displayed is the component and property from which the value is mapped. Property mappings are configured from the design canvas. See Create a Property Mapping for more information.

Note If a property has a target binding, by default (until runtime) the value displayed is the value that was configured when the property was created.

If the property is mapped to a token (String properties only), the value displayed is the name of the token (a token is a system value that is automatically resolved internally when the property is read).

If the property is configured as Confidential Data (String properties only), the value is masked (no encryption of the value is performed).
References

The total number of component properties using this property as the source (the value of this property is mapped to another component property) and target bindings. A component property that has a property mapping (its value is mapped from another property) is not considered a reference.

Click the reference to display the component properties to which this property is mapped and the subscriber option properties from which this property has a target binding.
Attributes

The attributes configured for the property such as:

  • Inherited - The property is inherited from a component type.
  • Consumer Visible - The property will be made visible in the Marketplace Portal.

    • Note Marketplace Portal is available only when the CSA license is applied.
Actions The gear icon, when selected, allowing you to edit or delete the property (if the action is permitted on the property). See the descriptions of these actions in the Tasks section below.

Tasks

  • Navigate to (the Properties tab) -Select a service design version. Click the Designer tab. Select the service component on which you want to complete the task. In the right pane, click the gear icon, select Edit Component, and select the Properties tab.

  • Create - Navigate to the Properties tab. Click Create. Enter the information described in the table above (see also Create Component Type Properties) and click Create.

    A service component property cannot be created if the service design is published.

    Note Property mappings are configured from the design canvas. See Create a Property Mapping for more information.

  • Edit - Navigate to the Properties tab. Click the gear icon next to the component property to be modified and select Edit.

    A service component property cannot be edited if the service design is published.

    The Name of a property cannot be edited if the design is in an upgrade path, is upgradable from a previous version of the design, and the component existed in that prior version.

  • Delete - Navigate to the Properties tab. Click the gear icon next to the component property to be deleted, select Delete, and click Yes in the confirmation dialog.

    A service component property cannot be deleted if the design is in an upgrade path, is upgradable from a previous version of the design, and the component property existed in that prior version. Component properties that are newly added to the current version of the design can be deleted.

    If a property has references, HCM ARA removes these references before deleting the property.
