Reusable Orchestration Components

Orchestration components are reusable. You can include the same component, such as a service request or cross reference, in more than one orchestration. If a component is used as a step in more than one orchestration, you should evaluate how it is used in the other orchestrations before modifying it.

To determine if a component is used by other orchestrations, open the design page of the component, and then click About from the Manage drop-down list. A pop-up dialog box is displayed listing the orchestrations where the component is used.

When in doubt, use the Save As button to create a new component from an existing one. This functionality enables you to give the component a new name and modify it as necessary, and eliminates the risk of breaking other orchestrations where the component is used.
