The DCAE Participant runs DCAE Control Loop Elements. Each DCAE Control Loop Element manages a DCAE microservice on DCAE. The user defines the DCAE blueprint for the DCAE microservice as well as other properties that the microservice requires in order to execute. The Yaml file that holds the <INSERT LINK HERE WHEN IT IS MERGED> is available in Github and is the canonical definition of the DCAE Control Loop Element type. For a description of the DCAE Control Loop Element and DCAE Participant, please see The CLAMP DCAE Participant page.

2 Common and Instance Specific Properties
Properties are used to define the configuration for Control Loops and Control Loop Elements. At design time, the types, constraints, and descriptions of the properties are specified. The values for properties are specified in the CLAMP GUI at runtime. TOSCA provides support fir defining properties, see TOSCA Property Definition in the TOSCA documentation.
2.1 Terminology for Properties
Property: Metadata defined in TOSCA that is associated with a Control Loop, a Control Loop Element, or a Participant.
