Create Job Keys Activity

The Create Job Keys activity sets the values of job keys dynamically during run time.

After the orchestration job has run on the Integration Appliance, you can view the values of the job keys in the Jobs detail pane of the Web Management Console (WMC). In addition, you can search for orchestration jobs using the primary key in the WMC.  For more information see the WMC online help.

To create and configure a Create Job Keys activity complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Create a Job Key by using the Creating Job Keys topic before configuring the Create Job Keys activity.
  2. Add the Create Job Keys activity to your orchestration:
    1. Create an orchestration using the Creating an orchestration topic, or open an existing orchestration. A graphical representation of the orchestration is displayed.
    2. Select the Activities tab and expand the Utilities folder.
    3. Drag the Create Job Keys activity onto the orchestration.
  3. Configure the Create Job Keys activity:
    1. In the Checklist, select Map Inputs.
    2. You can either set the default value of your job keys or map variables to the job keys, as described in steps 4 and 5.
  4. Set a default value for the job keys:
    1. In the To Activity pane of the Map Outputs task, right-click the job key and select Define Default Value from the list. The Define Default Value dialog box is displayed.
    2. Enter the required value in the Default Value field.
    3. Click OK.
    During run time, the values of the job keys are set to the values specified in the Default Value field.
  5. Map variables to the job keys:
    1. In the From Orchestration pane, click Add. The Add Variable dialog box is displayed. If any job keys have been created, they are displayed in the To Activity pane.
    2. Select variables. These variables supply the values of the job keys during run time.
    3. Click OK.
    4. Create mappings for each job key. From the From Orchestration pane, drag each variable to the corresponding job key in the To Activity pane.
    During run time, the value of the job keys are set to the values of the corresponding variables.
