1.4 Preparations

This section describes the preparations to be made in advance.


The following preparatory tasks must be performed before the templates are used:

Customizing the automatic operation processes

  1. Use Systemwalker Runbook Automation Studio to copy the automatic operation processes of the templates to be used to the application projects used for operations. Copy all the process definitions and forms that comprise the automatic operation processes. Refer to "File Configuration" for the automatic operation processes and forms to be copied.

  2. Change the settings of the copied automatic operation processes to suit the work contents.

    The following groups are set for the roles of the activities positioned in the template automatic operation processes:

    • Work by operators: Role

    • Work by person in charge of operations: AdminRole

    Modify the roles to suit the environment, or register the above groups at the Management Server.

    Refer to "Changing Input Values Set in the Automated Operation Process" for the content of other automatic operation process settings.

See

Refer to the Systemwalker Runbook Automation Studio User's Guide for the method for changing automatic operation processes.
Refer to the Systemwalker Runbook Automation Operations Guide for information concerning registering groups.

Registering the automatic operation processes at the Management Server

After changing the settings to suit the work contents, register the automatic operation processes at the Management Server.

See

Refer to the Systemwalker Runbook Automation Studio User's Guide for the method for registering automatic operation processes at the Management Server.
