Managing operational rules via web console

Operational rules are a series of steps executed by the agent. A step is a Chilli script. The behavior of BMC Client Management client agents is fully flexible and configurable.

As an administrator, you can use the GUI to define steps, such as inventory, file handling, and configuration to be performed by the agent, provide parameters to these steps, and distribute the rules. For more information on operational rules, see Applying operational rules.

To view operational rules

1. On the Welcome screen, search for a device or select a device from the list of frequently selected devices.
2. Open the Operational Rules tab.

A list of operational rules assigned to the device is displayed. The Operational Rules tab has two sub-tabs:

• Assignments: This tab lists the operational rules already assigned to the device. This list is retrieved from the master.
  
• Local operational Rules: It is a direct access to the device. The administrators can immediately execute an operational rule that is already received on the agent. Select the operational rule from the list and click Execute Immediately.
