Run a Controlled or Non-Controlled Automation

This task describes how to run a controlled or non-controlled automation.

Note The controlled automation functionality is also referred to as automatic risk visualization.

Add a view to be managed

In the Views module of UCMDB, add a view to be managed. For details, see Add a View to be Managed.
Add a flow and configure the automation parameters

In Administration > Automation Setup, do the following:
1. Click to open the Select Flow window.
2. In the left pane, click to expand the Flow Tree and select the Operations Orchestration flow that you want to run as an automation in Configuration Manager.
3. Click OK to return to the Automation Setup window.
4. In the Automation Details pane, specify the CI type on which to run the automation from the Associated CI Type list.
5. In the Execution Details pane, select the Controlled Execution check box to run the selected flow as a controlled automation. Non-controlled automations are run with no system intervention. To run a non-controlled automation, clear the Controlled Execution check box. By default, automations are set to run as controlled.
Run a controlled or non-controlled automation
1. Select Explorer > Explore Views.
2. In the Explore Views toolbar, do the following:
  - In the State box, select Actual State or Authorized State.
  - In the Select Snapshot box, select Latest.
3. In the Composite CIs pane, select a CI that is of the same CI type you chose in the Managed CI Type box in the Automation Setup module, or a sub-class of it. For details, see Automation Setup Page.
4. In the Composite CIs pane, click the Run Automation button to open the Automation Execution dialog box.
5. In the Automations pane, select the required automation.
6. In the Execution Parameters pane, enter the required execution parameters for the automation you selected. Only the parameters with an asterisk are required.
  - If the automation you selected is a non-controlled automation, a Run button appears at the bottom of the dialog box. Click Run to run the automation.
    
    Note A red asterisk indicates a required parameter. If you do not fill in the required value, the Run Automation button is disabled.
  - If the automation you selected is a controlled automation, a Next button appears at the bottom of the dialog box. Click Next to open the Automation Planner page.
    
    Note A red asterisk indicates a required parameter. You must fill in the required values to run the automation. If you do not fill in the required parameter(s), the Next button is disabled.
7. In the Implementation Details pane of the Automation Planner dialog box, set the date and time for the automation using the calendar. You can select the current or a future date. The default is set to the current date and time.
8. Before running the automation, check the status of the policies in the Policies pane. If any of the policies have been breached, you need to examine whether the breach is critical to your IT environment. For example, the automation may cause server downtime. For information on the automation analysis information, see Automation Analysis > Automation Pane.
  
  If you find that the breach does not pose a risk, you can choose to ignore the breached policies and run the automation. The automation runs regardless of whether policies have been breached or not. For details, see the Automation Execution Dialog Box and the Automation Execution Dialog Box.
9. Click Run to run the automation.
  - If you ran a controlled automation, you can view the automation result details in the Controlled Automations tab. For details, see Controlled Automations Tab.
  - If you ran a non-controlled automation, a window opens with the following message: The automation has been launched. Click here to view a detailed report. The word here is a link that opens Operations Orchestration, where you can view the automation results.
