Defining the agent property

Table 50 shows the basic information about an agent property that the agent-property object contains.

Table 50. Basic information for an agent property

Basic property information AgentProperty member variable Description
Name propName

Identifies the agent property.

Business Object Wizard displays this value in the Property column of the Configure Agent (configuration property) or BO Properties (business-object property) dialog box. You can initialize the agent property's name with any of the forms of the AgentProperty() constructor.

Description


(optional)

description

Provides additional information to describe the purpose of the agent property.

Business Object Wizard displays this value in the Description column of the Configure Agent (configuration property) or BO Properties (business-object property) dialog box. You must use either the second or third form of the AgentProperty() constructor to initialize the agent property's description.

Data type type

Defines the data type of the values that the agent property holds.

Business Object Wizard displays this value in the Type column of the Configure Agent (configuration property) or BO Properties (business-object property) dialog box. If you use the first form of the AgentProperty() constructor to initialize the agent property (which specifies only the property name), the agent property's type defaults to String. To specify a type, use the second or third form of the AgentProperty() constructor to initialize the agent property. Represent the agent property's type with one of the property-type constants shown in Table 67.
