Configuring
vRealize Orchestrator and Plug-
Ins 3
System and tenant administrators can configure vRealize Automation to use an external
vRealize Orchestrator server.
In addition, system administrators can also determine the workflow folders that are available to each
tenant.
Tenant administrators can configure the vRealize Orchestrator plug-ins as endpoints. They can also
import workflow packages.
If you have custom vRealize Orchestrator workflow packages or previously developed Advanced Service
Designer components, tenant administrators and service architects can import them into your
vRealize Automation. See Import Advanced Service Designer Components and Workflows.
