The last Orchestrator 7.0.0 brings real enhancements for JD Edwards automation and integration.
I’ve been working a lot with this version in the past 3 weeks during our Citizen Developer/Orchestrator workshops sessions in Ireland and UK and I must say I really enjoy this latest version which is now ready to be used intensively in Production environments:
- Orchestrator Monitor: You can now monitor your orchestrations and notifications using the new Orchestrator Health and Exception Monitoring:
- Error Handling: you can set up error handling for individual orchestration steps.
In the orchestration step, you can determine how the Orchestrator handles an error, whether it:
- Continues processing the orchestration after the error occurs, effectively ignoring the error.
- Cancels the orchestration.
- Cancels the orchestration and invokes an alternate orchestration or notification
BUT, there is still one missing piece: where is the Scheduler Monitor page ?
You still need to use the AIS REST API to start/list/stop the schedulers !!!
My students were all really surprised and disappointed; they all asked me the same question: as a Citizen Developer you are not supposed to use Postman to start your scheduler; why did they not provide a Web page for that ?
So, while they were working on the different labs, I used my oracle jet skills and quickly created this missing page, which could then be used as a E1 Page in JD Edwards.
You can now quickly start, stop, list the scheduled orchestrations/notifications using this simple Web page:
This page uses in the background the AIS REST API with its Scheduler Service REST Endpoints
