Create a connection

IBM® Runbook Automation connects to your target endpoints, for example your on-premise back-end system. If you use automations of type script or BigFix®, you must create a Script/BigFix connection to access your target endpoints. If you want to use a trigger, connect to Netcool®/Impact also referred to as the event trigger provider.

You can configure a connection on the Automation type page. To create a new connection, click Configure on the corresponding connection tile. To edit an existing connection, click Edit on the corresponding connection tile. You can configure one connection of each type. For example, you can configure one Script automation provider connection. Follow the on-screen instructions in the New connection window.

You can create a new connection with the noi_lead role. For more information about roles, see Administering users.
