Component installs and uninstalls

BMC Server Automation lets you install and uninstall components by associating Batch Jobs with component templates.

The installer Batch Jobs can run a series of jobs that deploy all the parts necessary to create a component. Then the Batch Job can run a Component Discovery Job to discover components. The uninstaller Batch Job can remove component parts and then run a Component Discovery Job to invalidate an existing component. Similarly, if you have the BMC Application Automation product installed, you can run an Application Discovery Job to discover applications during an install and to invalidate applications during an uninstall.

For more information about how to define a component template to allow installs and uninstalls, see Install Uninstall tab for a component template.
