Creating, modifying, and managing operations


Most of the actions you perform in the portal involve operations, which are simplified versions of the jobs you can perform in BMC Server Automation.

A wizard steps you through the process of creating an operation. The wizard is largely the same for all types of operations with minor exceptions for each type. Provisioning operations have more substantial differences, so they are described separately.

The following table describes the actions you can perform related to operations.

Manage operations by performing actions such as executing, deleting, and viewing logs.

View the results of operations and, for many types of operations, take actions based on those results.
