Using process directories

In the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio application, you can use a process directory to organize processes within a module. For example, you might want to put a set of related processes in the same process directory.

Ensure that the names that you assign to process directories adhere to the following naming requirements:

• A process directory name is limited to the maximum file name size for the operating system on which BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio is running.
• A process directory name must begin with a letter and can contain only alphanumeric characters, periods, dashes, or underscores.
• A process directory name must be unique within the module or directory in which it resides.
  After you create a process directory, you can create new processes and process directories in that directory and you can move existing processes or process directories to the new process directory. You can also rename a process directory.

To create a process directory

1. In the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio Project Navigator, right-click the module name and select New Process Directory.
2. In the process Directory Name field, type the process directory name and click OK.

The process directory is added to the module tree in the Project Navigator. 

To move a process to a process directory

1. In the Project Navigator, select the process that you want to move.

2. Drag and drop the selected process into the target process directory.

BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio moves the process to the new location and renames the process everywhere it is used in the workspace to reflect the new location.

To move a process directory to a different module or process directory

1. In the Project Navigator, select the process directory that you want to move.

2. Drag and drop the selected process directory into the target process directory or module.

BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio moves the process directory and all its contents to the new location. It renames all processes in the moved process directory to reflect their new location.
