The Orchestrator Integration Toolkit


The Orchestrator Integration Toolkit is a set of tools that helps you to create new integrations for Orchestrator. Using wizard-based applications, you can easily create new workflow activities and Integration Packs that extend the capabilities of the product. You can also create custom workflow activities using the Orchestrator SDK and C#, and then package them into an Integration Pack using this toolkit.

This toolkit is composed of four components:

  • Integration Toolkit .NET Integration Pack: This is needed to run compatible .NET assemblies directly or invoke and/or monitor .NET

  • Command-Line Activity Wizard: This defines activities that run from CMD and SSH and package to .dll or into a new Integration Pack

  • Integration Pack Wizard: This allows you to create a package of compatible assemblies and dependent files into an Integration Pack

  • Integration Toolkit SDK Library: This is used mainly by developers to write custom activities
