Goal | For more information | Benefit |
---|---|---|
Adopt Business Service Management in your environment. | Business Service Management | Simplify, standardize, and automate IT processes so that you can manage business services efficiently across their lifecycle. |
Understand the key benefits of BMC Database Automation before embarking on using it as a solution. | Business value | Provide the essential capabilities for automated database provisioning and maintenance, thereby removing bottlenecks in the change and release processes and freeing Database Administrators (DBAs) to make more valuable use of their time. |
Understand the goals of implementing BMC Database Automation. | User goals and features | Take advantage of key features in the product to meet specific goals, such as task automation and provisioning and compliance. |
Become knowledgeable about the different types of databases you are managing in your environment. | Understanding database management | Be able to effectively provision and manage all database types and know the differences between them. For example, in SQL Server provisioning, an instance of SQL Server is created first and one or more databases can be added to that instance. In contrast, with Oracle, a database is created first and additional instances are then added to that database. |
Define and set up user roles. | User roles | Recognize the roles that will be used in executing use cases in BMC Database Automation so that you can implement a user access approach, create groups, assign capabilities within the product, and effectively manage permissions and authorization. |
