Warning
Helix documentation is moving from docs.bmc.com to docs.helixops.ai

Key pages will redirect to the new domain on May 26, 2026. However, some legacy documentation links will not be redirected. 

In-product help links might not work after migration as we transition and update them within the product.

For any queries, reach out to IX-Support@helixops.ai.
