Understanding the Orchestrations for System Administration

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Server Manager is REST enabled to perform various provisioning, monitoring, and management activities. REST enablement in Server Manager exposes these functionalities as REST services. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Orchestrator Studio can be used for JD Edwards System Administration. System administrators can call the Server Manager REST services from the Orchestrator Studio to automate the administrative tasks.

An orchestration for system administration can invoke the REST services on the Server Manager. This functionality enables the system administrators to leverage various orchestrator features such as invoking chained orchestrations, defining conditions, rules and logic, and sending messages and notifications. The orchestration for system administration simplifies the automation of various administration tasks.

The documentation for the Server Manager Console can be accessed from: https://<server_manager_console_host:port/ manage/mgmtrestservice/v1/open-api-catalog>

The components available on the Server Manager Console are present at: <Server_Manger_Console_installed_path>/SCFMC/components.

You can update the components using the FTP connection. You can configure a connector service request to transfer files by using FTP. With the FTP connector, you can transfer the component to the Server Manager Console. See, Configuring a Connector to Transfer Files Using File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

The orchestrations for system administration enable the system administrator to perform the following:

  • Execute Server Manager tasks (APIs) from the JD Edwards Orchestrator Studio.

  • Create, configure, and send notifications for system administration tasks through the orchestrator.

  • Schedule the orchestrations created using the REST services.

Creating an orchestration for system administration involves:

  1. Creating a connection to the Server Manager

  2. Creating the connector service request

  3. Adding the service request to the orchestration
