HCL Universal Orchestrator has two different types of view, Workload Designer Graphical View for the model and Job Stream View for the plan.

In the following sections you can find more information about the Workload Designer Graphical View and the Job Stream View.

Workload Designer Graphical View

With the Workload Designer Graphical View panel, you can select and view jobs and job streams with all the related dependencies.

When you select an item, a tooltip with more details about the item appears. A quick action menu with three icons is also available to delete the item, or create or copy and paste the dependencies.

Items can be a dependency for more than one item. Dependencies that create a loop within a job stream are highlighted in light yellow, so that you can take all the needed actions to remove the loop.

The Workload Designer Graphical View panel has a customizable layout, so you can move items anywhere throughout the graphic.

You can select the create dependency icon () to create dependencies by drawing a line from the item that you have selected, that is the dependency, to another item that you select, that is the depending item. You can create dependencies only between items that are displayed in the panel.

You can also select the create dependency icon to create a conditional dependency on jobs inside a job stream. In this case, you must manually update the conditional dependency table with information regarding the condition before saving the job stream. Conditional dependencies are displayed as a dash arrow.
