User Defined Object (UDO) Features in the Orchestrator Studio

Orchestration components are saved and managed as UDOs in EnterpriseOne. The Orchestrator Studio includes UDO options in the Manage drop-down menu that enable you to create orchestration components for your personal use, publish or share orchestration components, and modify shared orchestration components that are created by other users.

Note: The actions that you are allowed to perform in the Orchestrator Studio depend on the UDO security permissions that are granted to you by a system administrator. See Setting Up UDO Security for Orchestrator Studio Users in this guide for more information.

Orchestration components as UDOs enables administrators to use EnterpriseOne administration tools to manage the life cycle of orchestration components. For more information about the life cycle management of UDOs, see "UDO Life Cycle and Statuses" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Using and Approving User Defined Objects Guide.

The following table describes the UDO options in the Manage drop-down list of the Orchestrator Studio design pages and the life cycle status enacted by each UDO action.

UDO Options

Description

Save As

Saves the orchestration component to a status of "Personal." Components with a status of "Personal" are components that are being developed and have not been shared for publishing to the AIS Server.

Request to Publish

Sends the orchestration component for approval for sharing. An administrator or approver must approve the component so that it can be shared. The component status changes to "Pending Approval" in the component list and then changes to "Shared" when the component is approved. If rejected, the status changes to "Rework." At that point, you can edit the component and then use the Request to Publish button to send it for approval again.

Reserve

Reserves a shared UDO so that you can modify it. When reserved, no other users can make changes to a UDO. The component status changes to "Reserved."

Unreserve

Cancels the reserved component. This action changes the status of the component back to "Shared."

Notes

Available when the component is in the "Pending Approval" status, this option enables you to add an additional note to send to the approver of the UDO. The Notes option is active only if a note was added the first time the UDO was sent for approval using the "Request to Publish" option. This feature enables you to add an addendum to the original note.
