| An orchestration
engine is a server that is responsible for acting as an intelligent
intermediary between services. The
interaction that occurs between scripts is defined in ‘orchestration
scripts’. These scripts are then fed into the orchestration
engine where they are executed.
|
Orchestration engines
participate in the service network.
They are used to integrate internal applications as well as to
facilitate the Extended Enterprise.
Some engines will be specific to an orchestration language like
BPEL4WS while others will support multiple
orchestration languages.
