Orchestrating

Orchestrate anything with HCL Universal Orchestrator.

HCL Universal Orchestrator functionalities are centered around three fundamental items:

Tasks
Workflows
Workstations

You can define these items and monitor their status from both the UI and the Orchestration CLI.

Tasks

A task is the most fundamental unit of work. It represents a script or a command and must have a unique key. To discover more on how to define tasks, see Task definition.

You can run tasks by using any one of these options:

Cloud task launcher and it interacts with any external API if required, to perform the required action.
HCL Workload Automation for executable tasks and plug-in tasks.
HCL UnO agent, the on-premises agent that can run all types of tasks. For more information, see HCL UnO agent.

Workflows: A workflow consists of a series of individual tasks that are required to implement a business operation. Workflows can range from very simple to extremely complex, depending on the number of tasks they contain, and their running can depend on other tasks and workflows through dependencies, on time through run cycles, and on events through event triggers. To learn more about workflow definition, see Workflow definition.

Workstation: A workstation is an individual computer or computer partition that you can run tasks and workflows on. Workstation items are automatically defined when configuring an agent, and you can edit or delete them afterwards. To learn how to define one, see Workstation definition.
