AVEVA™ Work Tasks

Manage repository

  • Last UpdatedNov 26, 2025
  • 4 minute read

A Repository contains workflow definitions, Queues, Calendars, Workflow execution data, and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) data. The Repository Provider for the repository is also defined while creating a repository.

AVEVA Work Tasks supports only CONNECT repository provider by default.

Manage repository window fields

The table explains the fields of the Manage Repository window:

Field Name

Description

Example

Repository Name

Assign a name for the repository.

Ensure that you do not use special characters other than ()-=[]{}\|;,<>./!@$^`~ in the repository name.

Telematics Repository

Description

Provide a description for the repository.

This stores Telematics Employee Leave Details.

From mail

Email ID used by the email channel to send emails.

We recommend to define the From mail and Exception to mail in a production environment. This will assist the process administrator to track any exception that might occur in the Workflow instance due to data mismatch or any configuration related issue. An email with exception details will be sent to the mail ID defined in Exception to mail.

The from address of email channel mails continue to use the previously configured email ID, even after this property is edited and the repository is saved. To avoid this, restart the Workflow Engine Service and Communication Service.

admin@domain.com

Exception to mail

Define an exception email ID. Exceptions generated by the Workflow Engine when an activity fails is sent to the email ID specified in Exception to mail.

admin@domain.com

Alert initiator of the Workflow

Determines if the status of a workflow should be sent as a notification mail to the initiator of the workflow.

A process with a rule to check the pending leave available for the employee exists. If this rule fails due to a data mismatch, the employee who submitted the leave application will receive an e-mail with details related to the exception as a notification.
