Some nodes and node arrays have predefined Auto-Bind type and tag parameters for properties. You
cannot edit these parameters. When a service or application component is added to a node or node
Array, the source properties are taken from the service or application component and the target properties
are taken from the node or node array.
Table 12‑3. Predefined Node and Node Array Properties
Node Type Property Auto-Bind Type Auto-Bind Tag
Node, Node Array hostname Expose Hostname
Node, Node Array ip Expose IP Address
Node Array node-array-index Expose Node Array Index
When dependencies exist, the source properties are taken from the component that the link originates.
Target properties are taken from the component from which the link is drawn, and from parent service or
node components.
Property Compatibility
Auto-binding depends on the compatibility between Source and Target property types and Node type.
