Orchestrator Service Perspective Views

The following table describes some of the most used Orchestrator Service views.

View

Description

Orchestration Navigator

A hierarchical view of resources. This view allows you to select services and open them for editing.

Properties

Names and values for the selected resource are displayed and resource properties can be added and edited from this view.  The Ancillary Activities section of Properties allows you to set up probes that monitor data throughout the life cycle of a business process. You can also use this section set up to write to a file or a log and to print to a console.  Changes made on a properties sheet are instantly saved.

Endpoint Manager

The view where you configure information necessary to work with network connections.

Service Search

The results of a search.

Service Library

Copies of service interactions used in processes. Storing the service interactions provides resources for future projects.

Tasks

A list of warnings, errors, or log problems that is generated during a build. You can also add items to this list yourself, for example, a reminder. You can associate a manually-added task to a specific resource. When you click a task to complete a Properties sheet, the Properties sheet that needs to be updated is opened.

Dependencies

Dependencies displays the name of the resource currently selected in the Orchestration Navigator and two folders: Used by and Uses. The Used By folder contains a list of the resources that use the selected resource. The Uses folder contains a list of the resources used by the selected resource and shows what they are used in. For example, if Rule A is the selected resource, the Used By folder would display the business processes that use Rule A. and the Uses folder would display the maps Rule A uses.

This list is per project; it does not go across projects.
