Description

Connection

---

---

Indicates where this activity's Automate Schedule credentials should originate from. This is a visual parameter used only during design-time, thus, contains no properties or markups. The available options are:

• Host - Denotes that a custom set of credentials will be entered for this activity. This option is normally selected if only a single Automate Schedule activity is required to complete a task or operation.

• Session - Denotes that credentials should derive from a session created by a previous Create session step. This allows several Automate Schedule activities to be linked to a particular session, eliminating redundancy. Multiple sessions can exist within a single task, allowing several Automate Schedule operations to be automated concurrently.
