Creating Job Keys

You can associate job keys (or identify keys) with a specific orchestration job.

About this task

You create job keys from the Job Identification pane in Studio. To launch the Job Identification pane, select Orchestration > Properties option from the Studio toolbar menu. In the Job Identification pane, define the name and type of the job key. You can also specify one job key as the Primary key.

During run time, a Create Job Keys activity dynamically sets the values of the job keys when an orchestration job runs on the Integration Appliance.  After the orchestration job has completed, you can view the values of the job keys from the Web Management Console (WMC). In the WMC, you can also search for the value of a key. All orchestration jobs that contain keys with that value are displayed.

Note: When designing your orchestration, typically it is best to add only one Create Job Keys activity to an orchestration. If the first Create Job Keys activity in an orchestration has a map to the job key, during run time, the second Create Job Keys activity in an orchestration does not reset the value of the job key that was set by first Create Job Keys activity. The action of the second Create Job Keys activity is ignored.

Procedure

  1. Create or open an orchestration. See Creating an orchestration for more information. A graphical representation of the orchestration is displayed.
  2. Select Orchestration > Properties to open the Orchestration pane.
  3. Click Add. A new key with default values is added to the Keys list.
  4. Enter the configuration information for new job keys as described in the following table.
    Field / Column Description
    Name (Required) Specifies the name of the job key
    Type (Required) Specifies the type of the job key
    Primary Specifies that the key is the Primary key. You can only select one key as the Primary key
