Automation scripts for BMC Release Package and Deployment

This topic provides information about the default scripts that you can import to perform various functions in BMC Release Package and Deployment. The default scripts provided for this integration are Ruby scripts that directly communicate with BMC Release Package and Deployment 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.

Warning

Note

  • BMC Release Package and Deployment scripts are available only if you are using BMC Release Process Management as a part of the BMC Release Lifecycle Management suite 4.3.00 or later.
  • You must import all the data retriever scripts before importing the local ruby scripts. Unless you have data retriever scripts already imported, local ruby scripts dependent on the particular data retriever scripts cannot work. For more information on importing scripts, see Importing-automation-scripts-from-the-library.
  • Before importing the necessary scripts, you create an integration server. Without an appropriate integration server, you cannot import the scripts. For more information on creating an integration server, see Configuring-for-integrating-with-BMC-Release-Package-and-Deployment.
  • If the automation script added in a step fails, you cannot see the relevant output parameters with details about the deployment status, and so on. For more information on adding a step, see Managing-steps.
