Configure a .NET activity

Use the following procedure to configure a .NET activity.

Procedure
  1. Add an activity to the map.

    By default, the Configuration tab is open in the properties panel of the activity.

  2. Change the default Name of the activity to something meaningful.
  3. On the Type list, select Common > .Net.
  4. Select Configure for Parameters.

    The Configure .Net activity dialog box is displayed.

  5. On the Assembly file path list, select Local or Store and select the assembly file path (default: Local). For Store, you can also select a packaged assembly (ZIP).

    • The ZIP must match the name of the primary assembly inside it. For example, MyLibrary.zip must contain MyLibrary.dll. If no matching DLL is found, an error message is displayed, and the ZIP cannot be uploaded.

    • The Package Zip Max Size (MB) and Package Max Files settings in the Streaming tab of the Configuration Utility control the ZIP size and the number of files allowed in the ZIP. Refer to the Tungsten TotalAgility Configuration Utility Guide for more information.

    The associated class and method of the assembly are populated in the Class and Method list. If a .NET Core assembly is selected, its version number is displayed. For example, Version .Net 6.

  6. If you select Load assembly using full name, the application loads a .NET object from the Global Assembly Center (GAC), using the display name of the .NET assembly object.

    • This option is available only for local assemblies.

    • For the TotalAgility Advanced Studio running in On-premise multi-tenant and Azure environments, only existing local assemblies and assemblies from the Store are available. You cannot add new local assemblies, but you can add Store assemblies.

    • If a .NET call contains classes within classes, all available levels of classes appear.

    • If the classes are recursive, only three levels of classes appear.

    • If a .NET call contains arrays within arrays, all available levels of arrays appear.

    • Static .NET classes are not supported.

  7. Map variables to the parameters using dynamic or static values. For more information see .NET activity mapping parameters.
  8. Select OK.
  9. Save the process map.
  10. Configure other properties for this activity. See Activity properties.

If you try to modify a .NET activity that is using an assembly created in .NET Core, and if .NET 8 or higher is not installed, an error message is displayed.
