User scenario for unlocking user accounts by using BMC MyIT
BMC MyIT Service Broker version 3.2 uses BMC Atrium Orchestrator as a fulfillment engine to process services through a BAO connector. The BMC MyIT Service Broker module in BMC Atrium Orchestrator interacts with the BMC MyIT Service Broker BAO connector to invoke the workflows/services exposed to the BMC MyIT Service Broker application.
