JD Edwards Orchestrator Basics Training
Learn to build, test, and deploy JD Edwards orchestrations through hands-on exercises and real-world business scenarios.
This course provides a practical introduction to JD Edwards Orchestrator, designed to help you understand how it works and how to use it to automate real business processes.
Unlike generic technical training, this course focuses on real-world JD Edwards business scenarios and practical automation patterns that participants can apply immediately in their own organizations.
Course Overview
We help JD Edwards users move from manual processes to practical, scalable automation using Orchestrator.
The Orchestrator Basics course introduces the core concepts and capabilities of JD Edwards Orchestrator. Through a series of connected, hands-on exercises, participants learn how to create, test, run, and manage orchestrations in a dedicated training environment.
By the end of the course, participants will have a solid foundation for building automation solutions and applying Orchestrator effectively within their own JD Edwards environments.

Interactive, Hands-On Learning Approach
This course is designed to be highly interactive and grounded in real-world scenarios.
Throughout the training, we use a fictional company, Mossy Banks Distributors, as a common thread connecting the exercises. This provides meaningful business context and helps tie individual topics together into a cohesive learning experience.
Course Structure
Live instructor-led sessions delivered via Zoom
Concepts introduced through short presentations and demonstrations
Demonstrations follow the same workflow as the exercises
Participants complete guided hands-on exercises using step-by-step instructions
Topics build progressively to create a complete business solution
This approach allows participants to see concepts demonstrated before building and testing solutions themselves.
Hands-On Exercises & Challenges
Step-by-step exercise guides
Structured labs that reinforce key concepts
Optional challenge activities for independent learning
Advanced variations for faster-paced participants
Challenges provide opportunities to apply what you've learned without relying entirely on detailed instructions.
Instructor Support
Real-time assistance during training sessions
Direct instructor guidance when participants encounter challenges
One-on-one support available between sessions when required
Instructor visibility into participant environments for hands-on assistance
This helps ensure participants remain engaged, make steady progress, and successfully complete the course.
