Orchestration Monitor scenario
About this task
Company X needs to restock its distribution centers in Europe automatically. The
company has automated the restocking process using HCL Universal Orchestrator and it can
keep an eye on its operations thanks to UnO's monitoring features. In this scenario,
an operator monitors the workflow that
restocks the German distribution center, called EU-GERSTOCK. The workflow runs daily
and it includes the following tasks:
- UNITCHECK: it checks the number of units present in the distribution center and the distribution center maximum capacity, calculating the difference.
- UNITORDER: it orders the number of units calculated by UNITCHECK.
- UNITCOURIER: it finds the first available courier within a certain cost parameter that is willing to deliver the units to the German distribution center.
- UNITCONFIRMATION: it saves and archives the delivery note generated by the courier after it collects the units for delivery.
In this scenario, the UNITORDER task does not complete successfully. The operator must take note of the number of units that need to be ordered and manually place an order for them. In addition, the operator must release the predecessor dependency of the UNITORDER task from the UNITCOURIER task to ensure that the UNITCOURIER task can launch automatically.
