About Working Data

You can see the working data hierarchy on the Data Mapping tab of the orchestration workflow Property Editor. Because the working data is available throughout the orchestration workflow, it is displayed when no specific step is selected.

Working data is composed of individual data elements that you create and delete. The possible types are:

• Private Simple: A type such as Integer or String.
• Library Type: A system type such as User, Field, or Privilege.
• Private Complex: A structure made of some combination of the other two types. This type has child data elements.

Working data is used in orchestration workflows. For example, you might want to temporarily store the value returned by a Web service or a loop counter variable. As with the inputs to Web services, you can define source elements and default values for working data.
