Executing Orchestration
13-18 Active System Manager User Guide, Release 7.1
Orchestration Execution with Default Operation Properties View
The Orchestration Execution view displays the Orchestration and its status (Completed, Aborted,
In-Progress, Skipped (skipped status displays when Execute is unchecked)) for the opened running session
in a tree structure. It also facilitates viewing the hierarchical representation of real-time Orchestration step
execution. In the selected session editor hierarchical view, each Step displays the Success or Failure of the
step (along with all operations) when you click on the step. Each step is linked to the complete Properties
view of the selected step. To view the status of operations in each step, expand each step by clicking
icon.
To view the hierarchical representation of Orchestration step execution, click the visible Orchestration in
the Orchestration Executions view, then click 5857 Orchestration. The hierarchial representation of
5857 Orchestration displays. Click the step to view the related properties of operations in each step existing
in 5857 Orchestration in the Properties view. Clicking on the step also displays the ‘Success’ or ‘Failure’
of the step. The steps unchecked in Execute check box while creating or updating Orchestration appear
with ‘Skipped’ status in the hierarchial representation of Orchestration.
Note While creating or updating Orchestration, if the Execute check box is disabled, then the status of
that step is displayed as ‘Skipped’ during Orchestration execution in a running session.
Note While creating or updating Orchestration, if you choose to Abort on Error on a particular step, then
that particular step aborts if any error occurs while executing. The ‘Failure’ status is displayed in
such a case on that particular step. All steps thereafter are aborted and do not execute.
