All objects in the repository that need to be edited have
a corresponding editor.
The editors provide all relevant information about the
objects. Editors allow you to modify different properties of the object.
For example, you can add or remove assertions from a policy or add
new endpoints to an interface.
Locked Objects
Objects
could be locked (read only) in Business Services Composition Studio
for two reasons:
- When the object has been modified, a changeset is created (meaning,
an object is reflected under the active changeset) and when you submit
that changeset to governance, that object moves from the active changeset
to the pending changeset. Object under the pending changeset are locked
and cannot be modified as long as they are in that list.
- The object is in a namespace that is not editable by the Business
Services Composition Studio user.
- Editors of locked objects are read-only. You cannot delete a locked
object. Sometimes, even though a particular object is not locked,
changing some property in its editor could cause a locked object to
change, so under these circumstances you are given an error.
Delete Instance
All instances visible in the
Business Services Explorer have a delete option when they are right-clicked.
Listed here are certain rules that apply for deletion.
- You cannot delete read-only objects.
- You cannot delete objects that indirectly affect read-only objects.
- Deleting application suites and application, you have to disassociate
before deleting.
Validation Errors
All fields in the editor are
validated and if there is an error it is displayed. When a field has
a validation error, the editor will:
- For a warning, a warning icon is displayed
next
to the text of the label.
- For an error, an error icon is displayed
next
to the text and the color of the field label is changed to red.
- In either cases of an error or a warning a validation message
is shown as a pop-up text on a mouse-over of the field label
Context Menus
- The New submenu will show up upon right clicking in the Business
Services Explorer of any perspective. It will have the option to Creating a studio project.
- If you right click on any specific item in the catalog explorer
then you also get the option to create any object. The new object
will be created within the project that was selected in the wizard.
