Ways to Use Rules

Rules can manage most simple automation tasks and can issue CA Automation Point command processors that automate complex tasks such as:

• Managing a voice response system
• Manipulating the variables that CA Automation Point uses to store system data needed for automation

When an operations task requires multiple actions (separated by required wait states), you can write REXX programs that your rules can invoke.

For more information about REXX programs, see the chapter "Configuring and Writing REXX."
