Introduction

• JOC Cockpit offers a graphical workflow editor to design workflows, jobs and dependencies.
  • Workflows can be designed by drag & drop in a graphical view.
  • Workflows can be edited in a JSON source code view.
  • For job scripts within a workflow a specific editor is provided that allows to work with longer scripts.

Graphical Workflow Editor

The workflow editor is available from the Configuration->Inventory View that offers the following panels:

• Left panel: The tree allows to navigate to folders and objects. Workflows can be available in any folder from the sub-folder Workflows.
• Middle panel: The design view allows to drag & drop JS7 - Workflow Instructions from the tool panel to a workflow. 
• Right panel: The property editor allows to manage the properties of instructions such as jobs that are available with a workflow.
  
  

JSON Object Editor

JS7 stores scheduling objects in JSON format. Users can display and can modify the JSON representation of objects such as workflows from the object's action menu:

The action menu items Show JSON and Edit JSON bring forward popup windows to display and to modify JSON code respectively.

• The JSON code is created and validated with JSON Schemas that are available per object type, see JS7 - Inventory Storage Format.
• The JSON Editor is explained from JS7 - Inventory Object Editor (JSON)

Job Script Editor

The JOC Cockpit Configuration->Inventory View offers the Script Editor for modification of job scripts:

• Job scripts can be directly edited from the multiline input field in the lower right corner of the property editor.
• When moving the mouse into the job script input field then the  pencil icon is displayed. Clicking this icon invokes the Script Editor.
  
  

The Job Script Editor is explained in more detailed with JS7 - Job Script Editor.
