Configurations

Create, run, and delete configuration elements.

A configuration element is a list of variables, that you can use to configure constants across a whole vRealize Orchestrator server deployment.

You can use configuration elements to make variables available to all the workflows , actions and policies running on the vRealize Orchestrator server.

If you create a package containing a workflows , actions or policies that uses a variable from a configuration element, vRealize Orchestrator automatically includes the configuration element in the package. If you import a package containing a configuration element into another vRealize Orchestrator server, you can import the configuration element variable values as well.

For example, if you create a workflows that requires variable values that depend on the vRealize Orchestrator server on which it runs, setting those variables in a configuration element lets you export that workflows , so that another vRealize Orchestrator server can use it. Configuration elements therefore allow you to exchange workflows , actions and [policies](/Library/Policies/ between servers more easily.
