Manage an Orchestrated System

The Orchestrated Systems page of the Oracle Access Governance Console allows you to easily manage your orchestrated systems. You can view a list of the Orchestrated Systems configured in your service instance, including name, type, configuration mode, and status . You can also initiate a data load, update configuration settings, and enable/disable individual orchestrated systems.

To manage your orchestrated systems, navigate to the Orchestrated Systems page of the Oracle Access Governance Console, by following these steps:
  1. From the Oracle Access Governance navigation menu icon Navigation menu, select Service Administration → Orchestrated Systems.
  2. On the Orchestrated Systems page, you are able to view the orchestrated systems that you have configured in your Oracle Access Governance instance. The list of orchestrated systems displays the following details:
    • Name: The name of the orchestrated system.
