Log in to BMC Helix Automation Console without selecting an endpoint
Access BMC Helix Automation Console without manually selecting an endpoint. The interface automatically detects and adapts to your configured endpoint managers, such as TrueSight Server Automation and TrueSight Network Automation, eliminating extra steps and taking you directly to the Vulnerabilities dashboard. This enhancement delivers a seamless, single‑pane experience for BMC Helix Automation Console users.
For more information, see User interface fundamentals.
Improved user experience on the Vulnerabilities page
You can view the categories assigned to the vulnerabilities according to their area of impact. You can also filter the list of vulnerabilities according to their assigned categories. With this capability, you can efficiently prioritize vulnerabilities and remediate them.
For more information, see Working with risks.
Sync job run results
Manually sync scan run and operation results to correct inaccuracies caused by communication delays between BMC Helix Automation Console and TrueSight Server Automation.
Manually syncing scan run and operation results is useful when the completion status is missing in BMC Helix Automation Console, when runs are initiated from both systems, or when BMC Helix Automation Console displays an outdated scan run status.
This enhancement ensures accurate and up‑to‑date scan run status visibility.
