Orchestrator Concepts
•   Activities
    – Intelligent tasks that perform defined actions

• Integration Packs
    – The way Opalis integrates to and executes activities against other
      systems and solutions

• Databus
    – The mechanism Opalis uses to publish and consume information
      between
      activities as the runbook executes

• Runbooks
    – System level workflows that execute a series of linked activities to
      complete
      a defined set of actions
