The Activities tab

An activity performs a particular operation in an orchestration, and are organized into categories on the activities tab

Activities are organized into the following general categories:
Transform activities
Transform activities transform data from one format to another. For example, the Read Flat File activity converts Flat File data to XML data. The transform activities are listed under the Transform folder of the Activities tab.
Logic activities
Logic activities affect the processing flow of an orchestration, such as control-flow logic, branching, or looping (for example: the For Each and the While Loop activities). The logic activities are listed under the Logic folder of the Activities tab.
Utilities activities
Utilities activities are utilities that start or act on the current orchestration job (or instance of the orchestration). The utilities activities are listed under the Utilities folder of the Activities tab.
Connector activities
Connector activities perform operations on the various external systems associated with the orchestration. Connection-oriented activities are grouped into various folders named for the type of system, such as Database, Email, FTP, HTTP, JMS, Salesforce.com, Siebel, MQ, SAP, and Web Services.

To use any activities, drag the activity icon from the Activities tab to the orchestration in the workspace. To configure the specifics of an activity, click the icon in the orchestration. The configuration pane displays underneath the orchestration.

The configuration pane includes an activity-specific Checklist to guide you through the configuration of each activity. A key part of configuring most activities involves the mapping of input and output parameters.
