Registering plug-ins

You can register your plug-ins on different levels in the task container artifact hierarchy. For example, for all tasks on a global level, for the tasks of an application component, for all of the tasks associated with a task template, or for a single task instance.

Why and when to perform this task

When you register multiple plug-ins, scoping is supported. This means that a plug-in that is registered on a lower level of the task container artifact hierarchy, such as a task instance, is used instead of the plug-in that is registered on a higher level, such as a task template or application component. Scoping is supported for all of the hierarchy levels. The task container uses the plug-in that is registered on the lowest level of the hierarchy.

You can register a plug-in in one of the following ways.
