Use the Module Browser widget to list all the deployed Service Component Architecture (SCA) modules and select one for detailed inspection or administration.
Module Browser interacts with the Module Administration widget. When you select a module or any module property, policy, security role, or business calendar, the Module Administration widget refreshes to display the details of the selected artifact.
Module Browser also interacts with Business Process Choreographer and with any instances of the Module Graphical View, Module Properties and Policies, Business Calendar Manager, Security Manager, and Module Health widgets on the page. Note that business calendars, security roles, and their associated widgets are available only in WebSphere Process Server.
Take any of the following actions in the Module Browser widget.

Display additional information about service imports, service exports, properties, policies, calendars, and security roles in the related administration widget or widgets on your page.
Open Business Process Choreographer Explorer to work directly with process templates, human tasks, and business state machines.
Open Business Rules Manager to work directly with business rule groups.
Examine the health status of the overall module and its individual topology, system components, queues, data sources, and messaging engines.
Note that the Module Browser widget does not display details about stopped modules or modules running in another cluster in the cell.
