Creating a Universal Extension

To create a Universal Extension:

• Define a new Template/Task in the user interface for a Universal Extension using the Universal Template/Task framework, including:

  • Task fields required for defining and launching the process through the Universal Extension.

  • Task Instance fields required for capturing data coming back throughout the life-cycle of the Universal Extension process.

  • Task Instance commands, and their supported status(es), that can be executed through the Universal Extension.

  • Universal Events, if any, that the Universal Extension may generate throughout the life-cycle of the Universal Extension process.

• Upload/attach an Extension Archive zip file to the Universal Template, recognized by the Universal Agent, which can either be deployed on-demand to registered agents, or automatically following a successful agent registration.
• Once the Universal Template is created, and the Extension Archive zip file is attached, generate a zip package recognized by Universal Controller that contains both the Universal Template definition and the Extension Archive zip file recognized by the Universal Agent.
