BLCLI reference
The TrueSight Server Automation Command Line Interface (BLCLI) is a Java-based CLI that allows you to perform many of the actions available in the TrueSight Server Automation Console by entering commands or running scripts. The CLI provides the following capabilities:
- Quickly typing commands to initiate actions, such as showing all running jobs or deploying patches to groups of servers. Many advanced users prefer a CLI over a point-and-click GUI.
- Automating complex multi-step tasks. For example, a script running CLI commands can add servers or populate the Depot with patches and other software---actions that would otherwise require numerous user interactions with the TrueSight Server Automation GUI.
- Bidirectionally integrating with other systems management and operations support systems. For example, using the CLI you can send compliance events to a monitoring console, use a trouble ticket to invoke an audit, or use an external event to initiate the full stack provisioning of a server, from OS to applications.
