BMC Service Desk Automation run book installation now allows configuration of adapters and modules
The BMC Atrium Orchestrator content installer now allows you to add, configure, and enable adapters and modules for the BMC Service Desk Automation run book directly from the installer.
In the earlier versions of the run book, the content installer only uploaded BMC Atrium Orchestrator artifacts (adapters and modules) to the repository. A service desk administrator had to manually configure and enable each adapter and module required to implement the solution.
The new run book installer reduces the manual effort required in configuring and enabling adapters and modules on the grid.
