Creating an operation - Schedule and Run


 

The Schedule & Run page of the Create Operation wizard lets you schedule an operation to run. It also lets you run the operation immediately.

Warning

Note

If an operation uses a deploy template based on an Advanced Deploy Job in BMC Server Automation, you cannot set a schedule using the Schedule & Run page. Instead, the operation uses the schedule defined in the deploy template.
