Understanding Open Standards for Orchestrations

Open standards for orchestrations allows external systems to discover orchestrations, including their inputs and outputs, by using the OpenAPI 2.0 standard (formerly known as "Swagger") or OpenAPI 3.0. This also enables products that conform to this standard to discover and execute orchestrations natively using this standard. Many products, including development, integration, automation, testing, and documentation tools, have libraries that support these standards.

Open standards for orchestrations gives you the ability to:

• Return a list of orchestrations available on an AIS server secured by standard authentication.

• Return a list of inputs and input types for an orchestration.

• Return a list of outputs and output types for an orchestration.

• Return the text description of an orchestration.

• Discover orchestrations from any OpenAPI 2.0 or 3.0 compliant consumer.

This applies to any orchestrations that you have created.
