After migration, the extensibility functionality is hosted in the Automation Assembler service and managed by the Event Broker.

Depending on your source environment, you might need to modify existing workflows and action code to optimize extensibility in VMware Aria Automation 8. Modifications and new functionality include:
  • Automation Orchestrator plugin support
  • Postgres and Microsoft SQL server database access
  • Rewriting workflow or action code for use with Automation Assembler
  • Using subscriptions with Automation Assembler

For more information on extensibility changes between vRealize Automation 7.x and 8.x, refer to the Aria Automation 8.x Extensibility Migration Guide.
