Configuring the Release Automation Client in AWI

As an Administrator, you can configure a Release Automation client from the Administration perspective of the Automic Web Interface.

Important! From client 0, you can add and enable the Release Automation client for any Automation Engine client (superadmin role is required) and change the client settings. From any other client, you can only modify the client settings (for example: queue trigger and background username/password).

  1. Navigate to the Release Automation perspective.

  2. Select the Clients tab.

  3. Double-click a client to open it.

  4. Select the Release Automation tab.

  5. Click Enable Release Automation Client. This action generates a new database schema and creates a new default admin user (if not already available) with default credentials: ADMIN/ADMIN.

    Note: The password of the ADMIN/ADMIN user for that client is admin. Make sure you change the password during the first login process.

  6. Enter the credentials for the service user in the following format: Name/Department. The service user is used to establish communication between the CDA and AE systems.

  7. Enter and confirm the user password.

  8. Enter a queue trigger agent and login. The queue trigger objects in the AE will be updated, so that they can run with the new agent and login. The agent and login information is stored in the RM.CLIENT_SETTINGS VARA object.

Notes:

  • The Action Packs PCK BOND and ITPA SHARED must be installed manually in the new client. For more information, see Working with Packs and Plug-ins.

  • After configuring the Release Automation client, its status and mode will be shown in the Client Status section.

  • If you do not use the UC/UC user to create a new client, make sure that you adapt the customer.config file accordingly beforehand.
