Scheduling and manually executing a transformation or job


An Administrator might have to manually trigger an Atrium Integrator transformation or a job by using forms if the job is not visible in the Atrium Integrator console.

Atrium Integrator uses workflow-based forms and scheduling operations in AR System to schedule transformations or jobs for execution.

Success

Best practice
We recommend that while creating an Atrium Integrator job or a transformation, enter correct information in the logging fields to be able to schedule and execute the job or the transformation from the Atrium Integrator console.

Before you begin

Ensure you have an Atrium Integrator Transformation or Job created in the relevant directory.

To access the form, enter the following details in the URL: http://<midTierServer>:<port>/arsys/forms/<ARServer>/<FormName>.

For list of available forms, see BMC Remedy AR System forms for data management.

To schedule a transformation or job

  1. Create an execution instance on the AR System server using the UDM:Execution form.
