Configuring a Connector Service Request to Invoke an Orchestration or Notification

> tutorial: Click here to view a recording of this feature.

1. Create and name the connector service request as described in Creating a Service Request.

2. On the Connector design page, click in the Connection field and select a connection under the Orchestrator category.

   After you select a connection, the Orchestrator Studio displays the URL to the AIS Server next to the Connection field.

3. Click inside the Orchestration/Notification field and select an orchestration or notification from the drop-down list.

   The drop-down list displays a list of available orchestrations followed by a list of available notifications. The orchestrations and notifications are further categorized by UDO status: Personal, Pending Approval, Reserved, or Shared.

   Any inputs defined in the called orchestration or notification appear in the Orchestration Input column, with variable names automatically generated in the adjacent Input column.

4. Enable the Allow Input JSON Object toggle if you want to map a JSON object to the orchestration connector. This enables you to pass arrays to an orchestration that is called through a connector. You can view the format of the JSON object to pass into this variable by using the Preview button for the orchestration and then viewing the sample input.

5. In the Input column, you can modify the variable names as desired or map a hard coded value by entering a value (without the ${} notation).

6. For an orchestration connector, use the adjacent Output grid to specify values you want returned from the called orchestration. These values must be defined as outputs in the called orchestration. Optionally, enter a variable for the value to make it an orchestration input, which gives you the option to map the value to a subsequent step in an orchestration.
