Viewing an orchestration

You can use orchestration view icons on the workspace, and View options from the Studio toolbar menu to manipulate your orchestration view in the workspace.

About this task

The workspace denotes source and target endpoints by using blue and green separating lines, respectively. With the endpoints displayed, the workspace uses data flow lines to associate an endpoint with a specific activity so that you can associate an activity with its endpoint.

You can manipulate the orchestration view in the workspace using the following icons:

Orientation of Orchestration: You can choose to view the orchestration in a horizontal or vertical view.
Expand or Collapse Orchestration Activities: Expands or collapses the activities in an orchestration.
Orientation of Endpoints: You can choose to view the endpoints in a horizontal or vertical view, relative to the orchestration.
Show/Hide Endpoints: You can choose whether to display endpoints for the orchestration in the workspace. Show/Hide endpoints that are oriented horizontally . Show/Hide endpoints that are oriented vertically .
Expand or collapse Orchestration: Expands , or collapses the entire orchestration, not just the activities.
Animate Graph: Animates the actions that occur in the workspace. By default, orchestration graphics in the workspace are animated and Studio smoothly transitions any modifications you make to an orchestration. Click the icon to disable the animations and have the actions occur more crisply. For example, when you add an activity to the orchestration, the new activity snaps into place.
Navigate Satellite View: You can view your entire orchestration and select a specific area to view.
Zoom Out: Minimizes the view of an orchestration.
Zoom In: Enlarges the view of an orchestration.
Restore view to 100%: Resets the zoom out and zoom in changes you made to the orchestration view.
Fit to view: Resizes the orchestration to fit in the workspace.
