Prerequisites
To start working with Automic Automation you must have planned and successfully installed your system. Make sure you have considered the following topics while planning your installation:
- About Automic Automation
- Automic Automation Architecture
- Requirements and Installation Types
- Automic Automation System Requirements and Sizing
- Security Concept
- Setting Up a Distributed Server Environment
- Automation Engine and Clusters
- Test and Production Systems - Best Practices
You must have all base components installed. This means you have:
- created your database
- installed the Utilities
- loaded your database
- installed the Automation Engine
- installed and configured the Automic Web Interface
- installed the JWP and JCP

You also must have the relevant Agents installed. Agents establish a connection between the Automation Engine and any target system. They also start task executions, thus enabling monitoring and reporting. For more information, see Installing the Agents.
You also must have installed the Service Manager and CAPKI and have established an Email connection. The installation of other additional components, such as Analytics or CallAPIs is optional. You can also configure your Automation Engine system to run in a cluster.

You can also use internal WebServices as the connecting link between a web client and the AE system. However, it is recommended to use the REST API for this purpose.
