Intrinsic properties listed by object type

40 minute readAutomation

This section describes the intrinsic properties for some of the objects in the CloudBees CD/RO. The property’s type precedes each property description in the Description column.

Property type Definition

boolean

One of two possible values—either true or false. These values are more frequently represented by the numbers "0" and "1", where "0" equals false and "1" equals true.

date

A millisecond precision UTC date in ISO 8601 form: YYYY]- [MM]-[DD]T[hh]:[mm]Z For example, 2007-06-19T04:36:22.000Z.

id

Each time an object is created, CloudBees CD/RO generates a unique ID number for that object.

name

This is a unicode string value with a maximum of 255 characters.

number

This is a simple integer numeric value.

reference

This property refers to another object.

string

This is a unicode string value with a maximum CLOB size of the database, but only the first 450 characters are indexed, which means a defined search will not "see" beyond the first 450 characters.

In the following tables, the Description column displays the property type followed by the property description.

A job is a CloudBees CD/RO structure associated with invoking a procedure. A new job is created each time a procedure begins to execute.

CloudBees CD/RO retains job information after the job completes so you can examine what occurred.
