Activity properties

Each activity in a process, with the exception of the comments, join, and end for activities, has associated properties that can be defined, viewed or edited within the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio application. These properties provide the parameters for the activity, set logging messages and provide the opportunity to add an activity specific description. Activities are configured through a Property Panel. The Property Panel for most activities contains a Properties tab. This tab often contains one or more tables of data. On tabs that contain tables, a tool bar is provided to facilitate working with the data in the tables.

When you double-click the activity in the process canvas, the Properties Panel is displayed. The process resizes so that the entire process is visible in the top half of the process canvas. The activity whose Property Panel is displayed is highlighted by a green box. There are three possible tabs available on the Property Panel: Properties, Logging and Metadata. The End, End For, Join and Comments activities do not have an associated Property Panel. The Spawn activity does not use the Properties tab; only the Logging and Metadata tabs will be available on the Property Panel of a Spawn activity.
