New Feature in Tools Release 9.2.8.3: Stateful Orchestrations

As REST APIs, orchestrations are, by definition, stateless. Their lifespan consists of a request, a prescribed set of steps, and a response.

Starting with tools release 9.2.8.3, a new feature 'Stateful Orchestrations' can be configured. This feature provides a framework for persisting the state of orchestrations---a snapshot of all relevant data at a given point---thereby enabling orchestrations to tolerate time gaps in execution, pauses for external systems to respond, starting and stopping between steps, and other asynchronous behaviors.This new KM
