Fulfillment Pattern Relation Graph Dependencies Tab

Use the Fulfillment Pattern Relation Graph Dependencies tab to copy an image of the graph into a document or an image file, show or hide outbound references, select a fulfillment mode, and view additional orchestration fulfillment patterns.

By default, the Fulfillment Pattern Relation Graph Dependencies tab shows in-bound dependencies (those defined directly in the editor). Outbound dependencies (those referenced by another orchestration fulfillment pattern) can be shown by selecting the Outbound option.

For example, consider an orchestration fulfillment pattern PS1 that defines the following dependencies between functions A, B, and C:

  • Function A has to complete before function B can start

  • Function B has to complete before function C can start

Consider an orchestration fulfillment pattern PS2 that defines the following dependencies between functions D, E, B, and F:

  • Function D has to complete before function E can start

  • Function B (which is defined on PS1) has to complete before function F can start

The relation graph for PS1 shows the dependencies between functions A, B, and C. Selecting the Outbound option in the Fulfillment Pattern Relation Graph Dependencies tab shows the dependencies between functions D, E, B, and F for PS2 (because PS1 has an outbound reference to PS2). You will see an additional connection between function B on PS1 and function F on PS2.

The Fulfillment Pattern Relation Graph Dependencies tab has the following options on the context menu:

Field Use

Copy

Copies the view region to the clipboard and allows you to paste an image of the graph into a document or an image file.

Outbound

Displays or hides outbound references.

Fulfillment Mode

Lets you select a fulfillment mode. Changing fulfillment modes updates the diagram.

Fulfillment Pattern

Lets you view only those orchestration fulfillment patterns and dependencies in which you are interested. This field is accessible when Outbound is selected.

Zoom To

Increases the size of the objects to a predefined percentage value.
