System Operation Automation

Configuration Manager provides the ability to use predefined flows from Operations Orchestration to automate standard system operations. You create an automation by importing a flow from Operations Orchestration.

You can run a controlled or non-controlled automation. The controlled automation functionality is also referred to as automatic risk visualization. A controlled automation provides an awareness of the possible risk involved in automation executions implemented from within Configuration Manager.

Automation policies enable you to determine when there is a high risk in running an automation. All automation policies are managed from the Automation Policy Management module. They enable you to define restrictions based on the automation execution information and the impact on the CI on which the automation was run.

For information on how to run a controlled or non-controlled automation, see Run a Controlled or Non-Controlled Automation.
