  - getId
```
String getId()
```
  - getAliases
```
String[] getAliases()
```
    The operation ID Aliases array.

    7.1
  - getType
```
Class<?> getType()
```
  - getInputType
```
default String getInputType()
```
    The input type of a chain/operation. If set, the following input types {"document", "documents", "blob", "blobs"} for all 'run method(s)' will handled. Other values will be adapted as java.lang.Object. If not set, Automation will set the input type(s) as the 'run methods(s)' parameter types (by introspection).
