Locking elements


We will have a quick look at the locking mechanism of Orchestrator.

Getting ready

For locking workflows, we need a workflow that we can use to lock, primarily, a workflow that calls other actions or workflows. If you don't have one in hand, use the 06.06.01 Using Asynchronous Workflows example workflow.

How to do it...

There are only two options in the locking system.

Locking workflows

To lock a workflow, action, or package, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on a workflow, action, or package.

  2. Navigate to Locking | Lock or Locking | Lock with dependencies. The Lock with dependencies option will lock all subworkflows and subactions that are used in this workflow.

Notice that the little lock icon on the item you have locked; you will not be able to edit this workflow anymore. However, you are still able to run it.

Unlocking workflows

Unlocking should be obvious now. However, note that there is no unlock with dependencies option, which means that you have to unlock each element by itself...
