Creating a Symphony

Create a Symphony to unify multiple workflows into a single coordinated process.

The maximum limit of Symphonies is 500. If you reach the limit, you need to remove existing Symphonies before creating a new one.
Note: Before creating a Symphony make sure that you have EO-MODELER security role.
  1. Go to Enterprise Orchestrator > Symphonies.
  2. Click Add.
  3. In the Overview tab, specify these details:
    • Symphony Name: Specify a unique name (maximum 50 characters). Allowed characters:
      • letters
      • numbers
      • underscores
      • hyphens
      • spaces
    • Symphony Description: Specify an optional description (maximum of 4000 characters). Allowed characters:
      • letters
      • numbers
      • underscores
      • hyphens
      • spaces
  4. Select the Design tab and drag-and-drop activities into the Symphony canvas.
    You can choose from these activities: ION Workflow, RPA, Infor BaaS, ION Data Flow, AI Machine Learning, AI Optimization.
    Tip: You can add up to 50 activities on the canvas.

    Arrange activities to define the execution sequence.

    Note: You must add at least one activity.
  5. Configure flow properties for each activity.

    Select an activity and specify these information:

    • The General tab:
      Flow
      Select the flow from the menu.
      Name
      Specify a clear, unique name for the activity.
      Activity timeout
      The No Timeout option is set by default. If needed, you can specify how long the activity waits before failing.
    • The Input tab:
      Input variables
      Specify the value of the input variable the activity receives.
    • The Output tab:
      Output variables
      The output variables are not configurable but can be mapped into the references of the Symphony variables during the symphony creation or edition. It will be an output of the execution reported and displayed in Output variables. The values are generated during the execution of the flow. You can use the values as input variable values for subsequent activities.
    • The On Error tab:
      Action
      Define the behavior if the activity fails.
    Note: If configuration issue occurs, an error indicator is displayed on the Diagram tab and on the activity tabs, such as: General, Input, Output, and On Error. Use this indicator to identify and resolve issues before you approve the Symphony.
  6. Click Save in the top left corner.
    You can save an incomplete Symphony only if it passes minimum validation checks. If the Symphony is not valid, you receive an Application Error message and you cannot save the Symphony.
  7. Select the Versions tab and click the Approve Version icon.
    Note: The Approve Version icon is inactive until all validation errors are resolved.

    Approving the version makes the changes effective and archives the previous approved version, if one exists. Only one version can be approved at a time.

  8. Go to the Symphonies page and activate the new Symphony.
