What are Task Elements?
Task Elements (also known as Nodes) are the basic building blocks of a Presence Task. Task Elements are dragged into the Task Design View and joined together using a mouse gesture. In the example below (from the Task Designer interface) there are four such Task Elements:
Task Elements are split into the following categories - please follow the category links to read more about the available Task Elements under each category:
Flow Control
These Task Elements control the flow of the Task. Many Tasks have a simple start and end point and a linear flow. Others will be more complex, requiring run-time decisions and branching based on the current data.
- Schedule Nodes
- Decision Point Nodes
- Miscellaneous Flow Control Nodes
- Event Notification Nodes
Data Access
These Tasks Elements are designed to load information from sources external to Presence and populate the Data Table with the queried information.
- SQL Statement Nodes
- Object Monitor Nodes
- XML Query Nodes
- Mail Scanner Nodes
- Web Services Nodes
- JSON Node
- LDAP Query Nodes
- Flat File Parser
- Data Table Nodes (subsection)
- Variable Nodes (subsection)
- Transaction Control Nodes
- Context XML Nodes
Data Formatters
These Tasks Elements are designed to format and write the contents of the current Data Table to external sources.
- CSV Writer
- HTML Table Writer
- Basic XML Writer
- XML Document Writer
- XSLT Processor
- Padded Text Writer
- Custom Data Formatter Standard Option
- Custom Data Formatter PDF Option
Custom Nodes
Allow you to create and re-use custom nodes to call Presence Tasks or Java classes
Actions
These Tasks Elements are designed to perform actions.
Alerts
File Actions
- Read Text File
- Read Binary File
- Write Text File
- Write Binary File
- Rename File
- Copy File
- Delete File
- Parse File Action
Other Actions
- Dynamic Task Call
- Call Native Program
- FTP Upload
- Create Graph
- AS400 Action
