Automatic Run Book Execution

In addition to manually launching run books in HPE Operations Orchestration in the context of an event (from the Action Panel, or directly from the context menu of an event), it is also possible to configure rules to automatically run a run book or a series of run books in the context of an event.

How to configure a Run Book automation rule

Note To simplify creating a run book automation rule that is similar to an existing rule, you can create duplicates of any existing rule using the Duplicate Item button. By default, the duplicated rule is active immediately after creation. You can change the default behavior by clearing the Activate Rule after creation check box on the General tab.

In the Run Book Rules pane, click the New Item button to open the Create New Run Book Automation Rule dialog box.
Enter a Display Name and optionally a Description for the rule being specified.
Select an event filter for the automation rule from the Events Filter list. The filter determines which events to consider in the rule.

If no appropriate filter is already configured, click the Browse (...) button, which opens the Select an Event Filter dialog box. Create a filter or edit an existing one. For information about filters, see How to Define Event Filters.
Clear Activate rule after creation, if you do not want to make the rule active immediately.
Click Next to open the Run Books page.
In the Run Books pane, click the New Item button to open the Select Run Books dialog box.
Select the CI type to be mapped to the run book from the CI Types pane.

The CI Types pane displays a hierarchical list representing the configuration item types in your IT environment. To display the required CI Type, browse to and select the item of interest. The run books associated with the CI Type are displayed.

If the CI Types list is filtered, (filtered) is displayed next to the CI Types title. For more information about searching and filtering, see How to search and filter CI types.

When CI types and their children have no run books assigned, their entries appear dimmed.

When CI types have children with assigned run books, their entries appear in normal text.

When run books are directly assigned to a CI type, their entries appear bold.
Select a run book to be mapped to the selected CI type and click OK.

The new run book automation mapping is added to the list of selected run books.
Repeat steps 7 and 8 for all other run books that you want to configure.
Click Next to display the Summary page.
Click Finish.

Troubleshooting and Limitations

Importing Run Book rules

When you import a run book rule with the Content Manager, a check is made to assess whether it is possible to execute the run book. If the check fails, the run book rule is disabled and a warning is displayed.

In the Automatic Run Book Rules manager, for any incorrectly imported rules, the Automatic Run Book Rule name is replaced with:

<Run Book Mapping unknown or incomplete>

If a warning is displayed during the import of a content pack that contains Automatic Run Book rules, check the following:

The connection to an Operations Orchestration system is set up correctly.
The expected Run Book Mappings are available in the OMi OO integration interface:

Administration > Operations Console > Run Book Mappings

Alternatively, click Run Book Mappings.
After ensuring that all required configurations are correct, activate the rule in the Automatic Run Book Execution manager:

Administration > Event Processing > Automation > Automatic Run Book Execution
