The developer of an extension can define options for the extension when the developer registers the extension. Users of the extension can configure the options based on their business requirements to implement custom process management in different workspaces. For example, the developer of an extension can define an option for the extension to specify the maximum length of SQL statements. Users of the extension can configure the option to specify different maximum lengths of SQL statements in different workspaces.
Background information
- The options for an extension are defined by the developer of the extension during
extension registration. Users of the extension can configure the options based on
their business requirements in different workspaces.
- For more information about how a developer registers an extension, see Preparation 2: Register an extension.
- Before a user of an extension enables the extension, the user can configure the options
for the extension by clicking Configure Extension Options in the Actions column on
the Extension configuration page, as shown in the following figure.
- After an extension user such as a user that is assigned the Workspace Manager role configures the options for an extension in a workspace, the developer of the extension can call the GetOptionValueForProject operation to obtain the configurations of the options.
Usage notes
The options for an extension and related UI text are defined by the developer of the extension. DataWorks is not responsible for risks that may be caused by the option content.
Supported components
The developer of an extension can use the following components to define options for
the extension: text, single-line text field, multi-line text field, single-select
drop-down box, multi-select drop-down box, check box, and radio button. The following
figure shows the components.
Define options for an extension
When a developer registers an extension in the Register Extension dialog box, the developer can define options for the extension in the Options for Extension field in the JSON format.
