Using Adapters

The topics in this chapter describe the adapters available for Cisco Process Orchestrator, any special
information about installing and configuring the adapters, and the activities provided by each adapter.
You can use these adapters in a workflow.

Many of the Process Orchestrator tasks that are required to run an activity are common to all or most
adapters. For example:

Configuring Adapters

For specific information about installing and configuring an adapter, see the topics in this chapter. For
general information about adapters, see

Configuring Security, page 10-16

Creating Targets

Before you can create or run processes in your Process Orchestrator environment, you must create the
targets on which the processes will run. Targets define specific environments where certain processes,
activities, or triggers will run.

You can define a target once and then reuse it in multiple processes. To define a target, see

Defining a

Target, page 2-13

Creating Runtime User Accounts

When creating targets, a runtime user account must be specified to be used to connect to the target. The runtime user account stores the information about the user security context for the target.

You can create the runtime user accounts during the process of creating the targets or prior to creating the targets. To create a runtime user account, see

Defining Runtime Users, page 2-14

Creating Triggers

Triggers are events and conditions in the system that determine how or when the process will be
executed. Using a trigger, for example, you can subscribe to an existing queue and fire an event trigger
based on the message that is generated. See

Creating Triggers, page 11-1
