Automation scripts for BMC Application Automation

This topic lists default scripts that you can import to perform functions in BMC Application Automation. The default scripts provided for this integration are Ruby scripts that directly communicate with BMC Application Automation to execute various operations.

 Scripts can be of the following types:

  • Local Ruby—Scripts in the Ruby programming language that run on the agent host of the engine that starts the automation step.
  • Data Retriever—Scripts in the Ruby programming language  that run on the target servers to obtain the necessary configuration data.

You can also create custom automation types.

Notes

  • Import all data retriever scripts before importing the local ruby scripts. Unless the data retriever scripts are already imported, local ruby scripts that depend on them cannot work.
  • If the automation script that you add to a step fails, you cannot view relevant output parameters that provide details such as the job status, target status, and so on.

Local ruby scripts and associated data retriever scripts

The following table provides links to the topics about the local ruby scripts that are available by default with the product. The associated data retriever scripts are described in each of the local ruby script topics.
