Job types
The following types of jobs are available in BMC Server Automation:
Job type | Description |
|---|---|
ACL Push Jobs | Convert the permissions for servers into entries in access control lists and then copies those lists to agents. |
Application Discovery Jobs | Discover the components of Java EE application servers. This type of discovery job is available only if you have installed the BMC Application Automation solution. For more information, see Discovering Java EE application servers in the BMC Application Automation documentation. |
Agent Installer Jobs | Install multiple agents on agentless devices. |
Atrium Import Jobs | Transfer business service data from a BMC Atrium CMDB to the BMC Server Automation database. For more information, see Transferring-business-service-data-from-BMC-Atrium-CMDB-to-BMC-Server-Automation in the BMC BladeLogic Automation Suite solution space. |
Audit Jobs | Determine whether server configurations comply with a standard configuration. |
Batch Jobs | Run a concatenated series of other jobs on remote servers. |
Compliance Jobs | Determine whether components satisfy compliance rules established for a component template. |
Component Discovery Jobs | Associate components with servers that match conditions that you define for each component template. |
Deregister Configuration Objects Jobs | Remove implementation files for custom server objects from servers. |
Distribute Configuration Objects Jobs | Distribute implementation files for custom server objects to servers where you want to use these objects. |
File Deploy Jobs | Copy files and directories from a managed server to multiple locations. |
Network Shell Script Jobs | Deploy and execute Network Shell scripts on remote servers. |
Patching Jobs | Manage patch configurations on servers running any operating system by comparing the patches on those servers to standard configurations or to collections of patches that you specify. |
Provision Jobs | Perform unattended installations of operating systems on new machines ("bare metal" machines) or re-provision existing machines. |
Publish Product Catalog Jobs | Publish component template property values to the Product Catalog in Atrium CMDB. For more information, see Publishing-the-Product-Catalog in the BMC BladeLogic Automation Suite solution space. |
SCAP Compliance Jobs | Analyzes selected servers for compliance with rules and checklists in a selected SCAP benchmark. |
Software and BLPackage Deploy Jobs | Deploy BLPackages and software installables to remote servers without user interaction. |
Snapshot Jobs | Record the configuration of a group of server objects at a point in time. |
Update Server Properties Jobs | Obtain the most recent property settings from agents and update them in the BMC Server Automation Console. |
Upgrade Model Objects Jobs | Upgrade policy-based objects — that is, component templates, BLPackages, and server object-based Snapshot and Audit Jobs — so they reference the most recent version of a server object. |
Virtual Guest Jobs | Deploy new VMware virtual machines on the VMware vCenter server (which must be a BMC Server Automation managed server). |
Virtual Guest Template Enrollment Jobs | Automatically discover operating system templates on VMware and Citrix XenServer systems, and create Virtual Guest Packages for the discovered templates. |
Virtual Infrastructure Discovery Jobs | Provide a view of the virtual machine inventory, without having to manually find and register each virtual machine. |
Workflow Jobs | Manage BMC Atrium Orchestrator workflow processes from any BMC Atrium Orchestrator run book module through the BMC Server Automation Console. |
