JD Edwards orchestrations are great way to simplify, integrate and automate repeated tasks through digital technologies. JD Edwards orchestrations are executed at AIS Server however they are designed via a tool called as Orchestrator studio, with JD Edwards tools release 9.2.4.0, Orchestrator studio is also part of AIS Server that further simplifies deployment of Orchestrator studio. Orchestrator studio is a low code, no code tool that allows business analyst to leverage their knowledge of business applications and create the flow using series of application tasks/steps and expose them as a REST end point. As JD Edwards AIS/Orchestrations are gaining traction & momentum, it has become tool of choice for JD Edwards customers who are looking to Integrate JD Edwards with Cloud SaaS applications, PaaS services or any other on premise applications.

Sample Use Case
