Adding an Automic Automation Scheduler

This page guides you through creating a new scheduler for Automic Automation. You have to add a new Automic Automation scheduler for each Automic Automation Client that you want to integrate into your AAI environment.

You can add Automic Automation schedulers before installing the Automic Automation Connector. However, you will not be able to use them until the Connector is up and running. For more information, see AAI Integration for Automic Automation.

To add an Automic Automation scheduler, go to System > Schedulers in your web interface and define the parameters listed below.

In the Add Scheduler section:

  • Name: Supplied by the user
