Task Agent Job customization
The Task Agent provides several customization capabilities so you can adapt the execution of background jobs to customer needs.
Create new job types or customize existing job types using one or more of the following methods:
• Script / macro
◦ Modify or add scripts and macros. For example, the Js_get_viewable_filename function in the js_customize_viewables.m Creo Elements/Direct Drafting macro customizes the file names for 2D viewable formats.
• XML
◦ Modify (default) values of job parameters
◦ Add or modify user interface actions
◦ Define job data exporters, job result handlers, etc.
• Java
◦ Write new Java classes for job data exporters, job result handlers, job options, permission checks that can be referenced in the job's XML configuration.

The job data exporter, job result handler, and job options may include parameters, some of which you can edit when creating or editing a job schedule. These are referred to as job parameters.
