Using Automic Workload Automation

This guide describes the features and functions of AWA in detail. It contains use cases that illustrate them and step-by-step instructions that guide you through your work. This guide addresses AWA users with the following roles:

• Developers and object designers

  AWA is an object-oriented solution. These chapters describe all AWA objects, how to design and use them and how to execute them:

  • Designing
  • Executing Objects

• Developers and object designers
  Operators and managers

  As a developer and object designer, you monitor the objects that you have created to verify that they behave as expected. As an operator, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the day-to-day business and to make sure that the automated processes run smoothly. These chapters explain how to monitor your tasks, identify, and analyze problems.

  • Monitoring Tasks
  • Forecasts and Auto-Forecasts
  • Analytics: Activity Reports and External Data Reporting

• Administrators

  Some objects are stored and maintained centrally in Client 0 and are available for selection in the combo boxes of all other Clients. These objects are typically managed by administrator users and they valid for the entire installation. Developers and object designers can select and use them when they are defining an object. Login (LOGIN), Connection (CONN) and Time Zone (TZ) objects are examples of these objects.

The Dashboards and My Catalog chapters describe configurable workspaces. Depending on the authorization policy that is applied at your company, they may contain access to functions that are relevant for developers and object designers and/or operators and managers.

The Common Functions are tools that help you work with the solution and address all user roles.
