The Identify Product step associates a product with a job by specifying the product library, solution, product class, series, and product. The Check Out and Check In steps use this association to perform their operations. The Launch ArcMap step may also be configured to use this association.
A series of parameters is available to customize the step execution behavior to align with the way you organize and manage products in the product library.
The table below outlines each step type argument and associated behavior:
