Accessing and navigating the Operator Control Panel
This topic provides instructions to log in, log out, and navigate the Operator Control Panel (OCP) application.
To log in to
Operator Control Panel
- Go to a supported browser and enter the following URL:
https://<hostNameOrIP>:<WebServerPort>/<webContext>
In the URL, <hostNameOrIP> indicates the IP address or host name where the OCP is installed.
The <WebServerPort> is the web server port designated during the installation.
The default <webContext> is ocpux.
For example, a CDP host name is mdb-a1, the web server port is the default 38080, and the web context is the default ocpux. Using these values, the URL used to launch OCP is http://mdb-a1:38080/ocpux. - Enter your user name and password, and click Login.
- To open a workflow, expand the module folder to go to the workflow that you want to run, and double-click the workflow name to open it.
The workflow opens in the workflow canvas, along with the workflow execution options.
To navigate the Operator Control Panel
After you successfully log in, the OCP application is divided in two sections, workflow explorer and the workflow canvas.
Workflow explorer
On the left, you see the workflow explorer, which lists all the workflows for which you have read and write access. Workflows are organized by module and process directory.
To view more the input, output, and description of a workflow, expand the module and go to a workflow, and click the 
(info icon). For example, the following figure shows the information that appears for a workflow.
Workflow canvas
When you double-click a workflow, the workflow opens on the canvas on the right side in the OCP. On the canvas, you see a graphical representation of the workflow. You can open a maximum of five workflows on the canvas at a time.
Each workflow opens as a separate tab. The following figure shows the workflow on the canvas.
For each workflow, you see the following options that you click based on what you want to do:
Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Provides description for a workflow |
Execute | Runs the workflow |
Pause | Pauses a workflow at any stage during the execution |
Cancel | Cancels the workflow |
When you execute a workflow, the process results appear under the graphical representation of the workflow. The following results are displayed:
- Status message: Indicates whether the process is completed successfully.
- Run by: Shows the current logged-in user's user name.
- Status: Shows the workflow status.
- Started: Shows the workflow start time, in the following format:
Sun Feb 09 17:21:37 GMT-12:00 2020 - Ended: Shows the workflow end time.
When a workflow is complete, you see the following options:
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Job ID | Shows the job ID for the workflow. |
Add Comment | Enables you to add a comment for the workflow. The comment is stored in the metrics database. |
Close Workflow | Closes the workflow. |
Check Error | If a workflow fails, shows the Job ID and the reason, if available. |
The step-by-step activity results for a workflow, if applicable, appear in the table below the workflow.
Workflow status indicators
When you have multiple (maximum five) workflows open on the canvas, the colors of the tabs indicate the status of the workflow at a single glance.
If a workflow is successful, the workflow tap appears green. If a workflow failed or is in a compensated state, the workflow tab is red.
