Automic Automation / Azure Logic Apps Agent Integration
Azure Logic Apps is a cloud platform where you can create and run automated workflows with little to no code. By using the visual designer and selecting from prebuilt operations, you can quickly build a workflow that integrates and manages your apps, data, services, and systems.
Azure Logic Apps simplifies the way that you connect legacy, modern, and cutting-edge systems across cloud, on premises, and hybrid environments and provides low-code-no-code tools for you to develop highly scalable integration solutions for your enterprise and business-to-business (B2B) scenarios.
Integrating Automic Automation with Azure Logic Apps allows you to run workflows in your Logic Apps workspace from Automic Automation. The following list describes some example tasks, business processes, and workloads that you can automate using Azure Logic Apps:
-
Schedule and send email notifications using Office 365 when a specific event happens, for example, a new file is uploaded.
-
Route and process customer orders across on-premises systems and cloud services.
-
Move uploaded files from an SFTP or FTP server to Azure Storage.
-
Monitor tweets, analyze the sentiment, and create alerts or tasks for items that need review.
The Azure Logic Apps Agent integrates the target system with Automic Automation. This means that the Agent lives within an Automic Automation system and it gives you access to all its functions and features. If you are not familiar with Automic Automation or if you need specific information about any of its functions, use this Agent-specific help in combination with the Automic Automation product documentation that you can find at Automic Automation documentation.
The Agents and the Automation Engine communicate using TLS/SSL, which requires using trusted certificates to prove the identity of the respective communication partner.
When an Agent communicates with an on-premises Automic Automation system, it establishes the connection to the Java communication process (JCP). When communicating with the Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition, it established the connection to an ingress / HTTPS load balancer. Regardless of the environment you use, you have to make sure that you have the required certificates in place.
Make sure you are familiar with the TLS/SSL and certificate implementation before installing and/or upgrading the respective component. For more information, see the Automic Automation documentation at:
This integration capability, like all integrations of the Automic system, can support service orchestration Workflows. Such Workflows orchestrate automated processes that run across multiple platforms, domains, and applications to deliver a specific IT service. For more information, see About Service Orchestration in the Automic Automation help, which is available on docs.automic.com.
Release Cycles
The release cycles of this Agent Integration are independent of the Automic Automation ones.
For more information, see Compatibility Information.
Important Consideration
To be able to implement (install and configure) and work with the Azure Logic Apps Agent Integration (configure Run Pipeline Jobs and include them in other Automic Automation objects), a sound knowledge of Automic Automation is required.
If you are new to Automic Automation, we strongly recommend that you take the following courses before beginning with this integration:
For all users:
For administrators:
-
Automic Automation v21 Administration Foundations (installation)
-
Automic Automation v21 Administration Standard (configuration)
For developers and object designers
This documentation describes how to set up the integration and how to work with Azure Logic Apps jobs.
