For cloudConnectionFactories elements:

  • cloudConnectionFactoryPid: the PID of the cloud connection factory
  • defaultCloudEndpointPid: If set, it represents the default PID for an instance of a new component suggested by the factory. This can be used by an user interface as a suggestion/placeholder for the name of a new cloud endpoint.
  • cloudEndpointPidRegex: If set, its value represents a regular expression that the PID of a new component must match.

For pubSubFactories elements:

  • factoryPid: The factory PID of the publisher/subscripter component. It identifies the component type. It can be used for example to create a new component using the pubSub POST method.
  • cloudConnectionFactoryPid: Specifies the cloudConnectionFactoryPid of the CloudConnectionFactory associated with this component. Each publisher/subscriber component is only compatible with CloudEndpoint instances created by the factory having this cloudConnectionFactoryPid.
  • defaultPid: If set, it represents the default PID for an instance of a new component suggested by the factory. This can be used by an user interface as a suggestion/placeholder for the name of a new publisher/subscriber.
  • defaultPidRegex: If set, its value represents a regular expression that the PID of a new component must match.
