5.6.5 The Repository Constraints/Facts Tab

The Constraints/Facts tab opens a page that shows all of the effective constraints and facts for a Grid object. Each Grid object has an associated set of facts and constraints that define its properties. In essence, by building, deploying, and running jobs on the PlateSpin Orchestrate Server, you can individually change the functionality of any and all system resources by managing an object’s facts and constraints. The Orchestrate Server assigns default values to each of the component facts, although they can be changed at any time by the administrator, unless they are read-only. Facts with mode r/o

have read-only values, which can be viewed (that is, using the edit “pencil” icon) but changes cannot be made.

5.6.6 The Repository Action History Tab

The Action History tab is displayed in the administrative view of the Repository object. When you select the Action History tab, a table displays a list of the history for all actions performed on this

Grid object.

The Orchestrate Server must be connected to an audit database for the Include Audit Database check box to be available. If the Include Audit Database check box is selected in this view, the action status is not polled. Click the refresh icon in the toolbar to fetch and display fresh data.

For more details about the information listed on the Action History page, see Section D.2.2, “Action

History in Admin Views of the Development Client,” on page 152 .

5.7 The User Object

A User object represents an individual account that is allowed to connect to the PlateSpin

Orchestrate Server. Administrator users are also allowed to connect by using the zosadmin command line and the PlateSpin Orchestrate Development Client user interfaces.

You can use the Orchestrate Development Client user interface to manually create a User object, or you can create them automatically if authentication through LDAP or Active Directory is enabled, or optionally if “autoregistration” is configured.

5.7.1 User Groups

Any group object displayed in the Explorer panel represents a collection of similar object types.

Groups can also be created automatically, as in the case when a provisioning adapter (PA) discovers a local repository on a VM host. For example, the xen30

PA, upon discovery of a VM host, automatically creates a local repository for that VM host and places the created repository in a
