Configuring the End activity

In this task, you configure the End activity to log the results of the workflow and to use the context items to show the directory listing.

In the preceding tasks, you created a module and a process, configured the Start activity, and created and configured two Assign activities and a Call Adapter activity. The process now appears as shown in the following figure:

Design canvas with two Assign activities and a Call Adapter activity


Just as you configured the Start activity to receive the inputs required to perform the List directory process, you configure the End activity to produce the results of the List directory process.

To configure the End activity

1. On the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio design canvas, double-click the End activity.
2. On the Properties tab of the Property Panel for the End activity, click .
3. In the Context Browser-Select Multiple dialog box, press the Ctrl key and select adapter response, directory list, error, and status, and then click Select.
4. On the Properties tab of the Property Panel for the End activity, use the blue arrows to change the order of the context items to the order shown in the following figure. Ensure each context item's Required check box is clear.

   If the context items are marked as required and they are not created during the workflow, then the workflow compensates instead of running to completion.

   Recommendation

   Never mark context items in the End activity as required.

5. Click OK to return to the design canvas.
6. Save the process.
