You can manually activate or deactivate your Automation Orchestrator integration so you can perform maintenance while the integration is still running.

You can deactivate your Automation Orchestrator integration to perform maintenance. While deactivated, your Automation Orchestrator integration is still in a RUNNING state so you can continue to perform tasks such as resource monitoring and data collection.
Note: In addition to manual disabling, the Automation Orchestrator Gateway service performs periodic health status checks to verify if your Automation Orchestrator integrations are active or not. Any inactive Automation Orchestrator integrations are deactivated automatically and are set to the DISCONNECTED state. You will be unable to perform tasks such as data collection or resource monitoring on disconnected integrations.
After disabling a Automation Orchestrator integration, or having the integration be disconnected by the health status checker, workflows will only run on remaining integrations that are activated. If your environment includes multiple activated Automation Orchestrator integrations which are not managed through project constraints or capability tags, a random Automation Orchestrator integration will be selected to run your workflow.
Note: Since the Automation Orchestrator integration is selected randomly, you must ensure that information required to run a given operation is available on all integrations. For content entities such as workflows, this means that they should be synchronized across all integrations. For inventory objects there is no guarantee that they will have the same object identifier on all integrations, so trying to run a workflow that includes such an inventory object as a input parameter might fail.

For information on managing multiple Automation Orchestrator integrations with project constraints and capability tags, see Managing multiple Automation Orchestrator integrations with project constraints and Managing multiple Automation Orchestrator integrations with cloud account capability tags.

Prerequisites
