Defining an Automate Service

This section describes how to create Automate services using the Service Builder Wizard. The Service Builder Wizard contains predefined sets of sample services. After completing the configuration steps, the automate service is ready to use. If you want to tailor a service, use the Automate Service Builder Wizard to customize it.

The following example shows you how to send an email to yourself each week listing all Veritas NetBackup jobs that are less than 70 percent complete. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Expand the CA SRM Object Tree, Open Systems, Services, Service Definitions, and then select Automate, as shown in the following diagram:

    The Automate table opens. You can also access Automate services from the Open Systems file menu by selecting Create Services and then Automate.

  2. Click the Configuration menu and then New in the Automate table. The Automate Service Wizard opens. Expand Templates, Backup Products, then Backup Servers, and select NetBackup Job Completion.
  3. Select 70 from the drop-down list:

  7. The Summary dialog displays the parameters for the service that you have defined. If you want to make changes, click the Back button. If there are no changes, click Launch to name and then execute the service. Click Save to save the service without executing it. CA SRM runs the service according to the configuration shown in this dialog.

    Note: If you make changes in the Advanced dialog, you will have to use it for all of your future changes. After you use the Advanced dialog for a service, you can no longer edit the service in the Service Builder Wizard.

  8. Enter a name for the service in the dialog. You can also provide an optional description. When you finish, click OK. The service executes or saves depending on what you selected in the previous dialog:

    You can use the CA SRM Activity Monitor to check the progress of any service that you create. From the Open Systems menu, select Activity Monitor.
