IBM BigFix Lifecycle
Server Automation
Server Automation provides powerful automation. You can use it to sequence automation actions in steps across multiple endpoints.
Automation
BigFix Lifecycle Server Automation provides you with technology to sequence actions, such as the deployment of Fixlets, across multiple endpoints. To sequence automation, you create an Automation Plan. Your Automation Plan contains all of the actions for your end-to-end automation sequence.
Creating an Automation Plan
An Automation Plan contains all of the data required to run a sequence of Fixlets, Tasks, and Baselines across multiple endpoints. You create your Automation Plans in the Server Automation domain. You can select a site and a domain to host your Automation Plan and define a sequential or parallel processing path for the steps in the plan. Each step can have an optional failure step that runs if the step fails. You can also save a set of default targets for both computers and computer groups, default parameters, and filters for each step in the Automation Plan.
Configuring email notification for Server Automation
You can configure Server Automation to automatically notify you by email when your Automation Plans have completed. After you have enabled email notification, you receive an email to the email addresses that you specified. The email notification includes details about the success or failure of the plan, and optionally provides comprehensive execution details for each step in the plan. The notification service is disabled by default. To set up email notification, you must install and configuring the notification service by running BigFix Tasks.
Uninstalling the notification service
To uninstall the notification service, you run a Task from the IBM® BigFix console.
