Working with Orchestrator Categories (Release 9.2.4.2)

The Category Manager (P980058) application enables you to view, add, edit, and delete orchestrator categories. You can attach these categories to orchestrations and the orchestration components to group orchestrations with a common purpose or business goal.

Orchestrator categories are those records that have the Category Type Code value selected as "ORCH" in the Category Manager.

The orchestrator categories created in Category Manager appear in a drop-down list in the orchestration component design page and are available for use. In the component design page, you can also create orchestrator categories on the fly and share them for reuse by other users. The Category drop-down list displays only those categories that have Category Type Code as "ORCH". For more information on adding categories in the component design page, see Creating a Component.

Note: Use action security to disable a user's ability to add categories in both the Category Manager and the orchestration component design page. If you disable the ability to add categories in Category Manager, the Share button will not appear in the component design page.
