    This version of the documentation is no longer supported. However, the documentation is available for your convenience. You will not be able to leave comments.

    You can use automation categories to integrate with a new external system that is not currently supported with this version of BMC Release Process Management. You can also make an automation category unavailable for other users by changing its status from active to inactive.

    To create a new automation category

    1. On the Environment menu, click Metadata > Manage Lists.
    2. Click AutomationCategory in the list displayed.
    3. In the Add List Item field, enter the new category name that you want to add.
    4. Click Add Item. The new item gets added to the Active List items list.
    5. Click Save.

    With this your new category is available for selection on the Choose Automation Category list while creating a new script on the Environment > Automation tab.

    Note

    You can also create a new automation type by clicking Environment > Metadata > Manage Lists and then clicking AutomationType in the list displayed. Currently two types of scripts, automation and resource automation scripts are supported with the product, by default. You can change this type or add a new type by using the AutomationType list on the Manage Lists page. If you add a new automation type, the new type is available on the To use as list while creating a new script on the Environment > Automation tab. But BMC recommends you to not change the default settings for the automation type to avoid any automation malfunctions.

    4. Click Archive.
      The automation category is added to the Inactive List items list.
