プロパティとデータを設定する

Configure what happens at runtime

Configuring properties is how you make your process run. It's where your BPMN diagram becomes an executable workflow. Every event, task, or gateway in Maestro has runtime properties that define what it does, what data it uses, and what happens next.

Use the Properties panel to connect your process to automations, agents, or APIs, and the Data Manager to handle variables and mappings. Together, they control how information moves through your process.

Quick start: Configure any element

1. Select an element on the canvas.
2. Open the Properties panel using the wrench icon in the upper-right corner.
3. Under Implementation, choose an action, for example, Start and wait for RPA workflow.
4. Add or select Inputs and Outputs to pass data between steps.
5. Review variables in the Data Manager and test your setup.

Tip: You can test your configuration instantly with Debug or Simulate before publishing.

Key sections in the Properties panel

セクション	目的
全般	Define the element name, description, and system ID.
実装	Choose the runtime action (e.g., call an automation, agent, or connector).
Inputs / Outputs	Map variables, expressions, or Data Fabric fields used by the element.
XML	Inspect the raw BPMN XML (for advanced users or support).

Note: If you want to know the supported elements in the BMPN XML, check out BPMN Specification - Business Process Model and Notation.

Note: Configuring Start event inputs and End event outputs enables you to populate input arguments when initiating the process from the Orchestrator interface or API. This also allows you to return output to any aforementioned sources.

Element-level retries

Element-level retries let you define how Maestro should automatically retry a task-level failure before marking it as faulted. Use this feature to handle temporary issues without manual intervention.

Why use it?

When a task fails, Maestro can re-execute it based on a retry strategy that you define in the Properties panel. This helps stabilize long-running processes by absorbing transient errors and giving dependent systems time to recover.

How to configure retries

1. Select a task element (for example, Service task).
2. In the Properties panel, expand Error handling → Element-level retries.
3. Turn Retry on failure on.
4. Choose or edit the retry strategy parameters:
   • Max retries: Number of retry attempts before the task fails permanently.
   • Initial delay: Time to wait before the first retry (ISO 8601 duration, for example PT1S).
   • Backoff type: Static, Linear or Exponential.
   • Exponential base: (Optional) applied when Exponential backoff is selected.
   • Max duration: (Optional) maximum delay between retries.
   • Retry on errors: Choose which errors should trigger retries (for example, All).

Note: Element-level retries apply only to executable tasks (e.g., Service, Agent, API Workflow, Queue Item). They are not available for gateways or event-catching elements.

データ マネージャー (Data Manager)

The Data Manager centralizes every variable, argument, and data source in your process.

• Define inputs and outputs once, then reuse them across tasks.
• Preview data structures from Data Fabric or connector payloads.
• Validate and test expressions before deployment.

Tip: Keep variable names meaningful (e.g., InvoiceId, ApprovalStatus) to simplify debugging and monitoring later.

Note: Configuring Start event inputs and End event outputs enables you to populate input arguments when initiating the process from the Orchestrator interface or API. This also allows you to return output to any aforementioned sources.
