Operations

Operations perform corrective actions on assets in your environment to remediate missing patches and vulnerabilities.

When you create a patch policy in BMC Helix Automation Console, a Patch Analysis Job is created in TrueSight Server Automation. This job scans the servers in your environment and finds missing patches, which are reported on the Assets > Managed Assets page. You can then create a patch remediation operation in the Automation Console that creates a Patch Analysis Remediation Job in Server Automation. This job installs missing patches on the selected assets.

When you import a vulnerability scan file in the Automation Console, assets and vulnerabilities appears on the Assets > Scanned Assets page. To remediate vulnerabilities, you must first map the asset to an endpoint in the endpoint manager, and then map the remediation content to a vulnerability. You can then create a vulnerability remediation operation (Patch Analysis Remediation Job in Server Automation), which performs the action as per the remediation content required for the vulnerabilities. 

When you create an operation, a pre-analysis, deploy, and post-analysis job is executed in Server Automation.
