HP Insight Orchestration 6.3 User Guide

6 Using Operations Orchestration
Overview
The HP Operations Orchestration Studio enables you to create custom workflow processes and
attach them to infrastructure service templates. This chapter provides a general overview of
Operations Orchestration and some examples.
Insight Orchestration defines integration points for Operations Orchestration workflows that run
each time a specific operation is invoked, regardless of the template or infrastructure service
involved in the operation. Insight Orchestration provides basic or sample Operations Orchestration
workflows for some of these operations; however, you can modify or create new workflows for
these operations to allow the integration of Insight Orchestration into the business processes.
Template architects can associate one or more Operations Orchestration workflows with a particular
template. You can design these workflows to run before or after a particular lifecycle operation
allowing the corresponding adjustment of the target server.
For more information on Operations Orchestration, see the HP Operations Orchestration Software
Guide at HP Insight Dynamics Information Library.
For information on Operations Orchestration security, see “HP Operations Orchestration
communication security” (page 131).
