Server Automation
Server Automation provides powerful automation. You can use it to sequence automation actions in steps across multiple endpoints.
Installing Server Automation components
To use BigFix Lifecycle Server Automation, you must install the Automation Plan Engine. The Automation Plan Engine processes your automation flows. To use the virtualization technology, you must install management extenders. The installation roadmap for Server Automation describes each of the steps that you must perform to get Server Automation up and running.
Installing the Automation Plan Engine
To install the Automation Plan Engine, you must have IBM® BigFix V9.2 with the Server Automation site installed. Make sure that your system meets all of the prerequisites before you begin installing the Automation Plan Engine. You can then install the Automation Plan Engine by executing a Task from your IBM BigFix console.
