How a job or process on a legacy LSAM machine raises an OpCon Continuum event by writing a file of event syntax into the agent's MSGIN directory — the Default event environment it needs, the line format and the credential pair Continuum verifies, which events are applied, how each one is attributed and where a rejected line goes.

What the SVG Image button in Canvas Tools produces — how the image is framed, which jobs it leaves out, the three messages that refuse an export, and why the file renders in a browser but opens blank in a vector editor.

The expression language a property token can carry — arithmetic, comparisons, string and date functions, and nested evaluation — what each operator accepts, the precedence and value rules that decide the answer, and how a failed expression behaves in a job parameter, an event, a notification, and an expression dependency.

Every job type available today, grouped by category, with the plugin it comes from, whether it needs a connection, and where it runs.

Pick your role to get a guided reading order through the OpCon Continuum documentation, grouped into modules that build on each other.

How the UNIX/Linux, Windows, IBM i, and SQL LSAM connectors let an OpCon Continuum workflow run commands, WS_FTP Pro transfers, file operations, Corelation batch jobs, Fiserv DNA jobs, HTTP/REST calls, T-SQL scripts, library scripts, Symitar/Episys batch processing, and file-arrival waits on your existing legacy agents through a relay, and how to diagnose routing and exit-criteria failures.

How notification groups, triggers, and channels decide who gets told when an agent, relay, workflow, or job changes state.

What a Null Job does, why you would use one to aggregate dependencies or carry events, and why a Null Job that never finishes is a dependency or on-hold problem rather than a job failure.

The character policy and length bounds that apply to the names you give properties, tags, calendars, frequencies, scripts, service requests, and every other named object, the objects that keep their own stricter rule, and what happens when you edit an object whose name predates the policy.

How the OpCon MFT Transfer job downloads, transforms and uploads files on an OpCon MFT agent — the endpoint and key pickers, the order the compression and encryption steps run in, the compression password connection, what refuses a save, and why a restart resumes the previous run.

How the OpCon RPA Task job starts a Robot, Web Macro or Scan Document task on an OpCon RPA agent — the Sub-type, Task and Version pickers, how "Use latest" resolves, which statuses pass and fail, the instance properties the job carries, and what the Output tab shows.

A guided reading order for the Operator pages, grouped into modules that build on each other.

What each waiting, running, failed, or held job state means during the daily run, which action to take in response, and how to read a completed job's exit code.

How plugins package the job types your jobs can run, which plugins are enabled by default for a tenant, and why a job type you cannot build with is usually a disabled plugin.

How to prepare agents with the interpreters, drivers, and permissions each connector needs before running connector jobs.

How workspace-scoped properties parameterize jobs and keep secrets out of job parameters, and how global tags organize and filter what you build.

What a relay is, how to register, install, and health-check one, and how to rotate its credentials so legacy LSAM machines can run jobs dispatched from the cloud without inbound firewall changes.

What you can report on, how to build a report from columns, sort rules, and filters, and how to save, re-run, and export the results.

How roles, the permission catalog, and workspace and environment scopes shape what each person sees in Continuum, and the refusals that apply to every event.

How to add and configure a Run Command job so a job runs a command or program on an agent.

How to add and configure a Run Script job so a job runs a script in the interpreter you choose on an agent.

How the Run Command job runs a command line on an agent, when to run it through a shell instead of directly, how exit criteria and output parsing decide success, and how to diagnose command-not-found, environment, and exit-code failures.

How to run commands on legacy LSAM machines so you can automate work on systems connected through the legacy relay.

How the Run Script job runs an embedded PowerShell, Bash, Python, or Shell script on an agent, which interpreters must already be installed there, how exit criteria and output parsing decide success, and how to diagnose missing-interpreter and exit-code failures.

How one workflow builds as several named schedule instances for the same date, each carrying its own property values — how instances are defined, how a build targets them, how they are named and displayed, and how dependencies, conflicts and events address one instance.

How build settings, frequencies, and calendars together decide what runs and when, and how to work out why a job did or did not build into a day's run.

How the script library stores and versions scripts so a job can reference one instead of carrying its own copy, and how a referenced script is pinned or tracked.

How a Workflow Container embeds another workflow as a step in the current one, what the container does while the nested workflow runs, and how to diagnose missing, circular, and too-deeply-nested references.

How events fire a command in response to a job outcome, whether that is a status, a comparison against the job's termination description, or a completion expression, and which triggers and operators are available.

How every saved change to a workflow becomes a reviewable version you can roll back to, and how deployments decide which version runs in which environment.

How workspaces group and isolate workflows, properties, thresholds, resources, scripts, and service requests, what stays global, and why access comes from role scopes rather than workspace membership.
