What is it and where does it come from

OIS provides IT Process Automation (ITPA), also known as Run Book Automation (RBA), which is the ability to orchestrate and integrate IT management tools through policies.

ITPA can reduce costs, simplify management and optimize resources through:

• Multi-vendor integration, no rip & replace or vendor lock-in

• Pre-built activities & workflow processes to speed time to value• Replaces manual, resource-intensive, and error-prone activities

• Configuration of workflows is done without coding or scripting

• Intelligent workflows with rule-based branching

• Automation that spans multiple IT components, disciplines and silos

How we build Policies & Workflows

► Planning / Designing a Workflow– Identify root problem to be solved– Ask questions about why it’s done this way– Map the process in the OIS Client– Verify the logic

► Building a Workflow– Step 1: Create a new Policy – Step 2: Add Objects– Step 3: Fill out the Object Form– Step 4: Link the Objects Together– Step 5: Test your Policy – Step 6: Check in your Policy– Step 7: Start your Policy

What if we need it to do a different thing

Quick Integration Kit Command Line Interface Wizard (QIK CLI Wizard)

Package CLI Commands into Deployable Objects

The QIK CLI Wizard enables the ability to encapsulate commands, arguments and parameters based on various configurations

Resulting object is a Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework DLL

The Invoke .NET object can be used to test the resulting DLL generated

Command Line Modes:Run Command Run Windows PowerShellRun ProgramRun SSH Command

From Compiled Resources to Packaged QIK IPs The QIK Wizard and QIK Objects deliver complementary functionality for extending OIS

• To create a group of objects that each perform a different operation, but are related in some way

• To group objects in the Palette and provide unique icons• You want to deploy to multiple Action Servers or Clients • Use for production scenarios

Use QIK Wizard :

• You want to test interaction with a class before developing an Integration Pack

Use Invoke / Monitor .NET objects when:
