Course Overview
This four-day course introduces students to the essential concepts and usage of the Operations Orchestration (OO) software. OO is part of the Operations Bridge, Data Center Automation, Hybrid Cloud Management X and Service Management Automation X.
In particular, the course covers how to use OO Studio as a flow development tool. It introduces students to the essential concepts and usage of the Studio along with some advanced features.
Other topics in the course include using the source control management (SCM) system, which is a useful tool for groups of flow authors to work collaboratively on projects. This course also covers creating operations and subflows using OO Studio. Furthermore, you learn about using XML and JSON operations. In addition, this course shows you how to use integration content to facilitate integrations with other products like Operations Bridge Manager (OBM).
The execution order internal to OO is explained in detail. This course further focuses on advanced topics including using scriptlets, using PowerShell and Representational State Transfer (REST) to interact with OO Central, and using semaphores.
The course consists of focused, task-oriented lectures, text, and a series of detailed hands-on labs to teach the course material to the students. The hands-on labs for this course use version 2022.11 of the OO software.
