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 Ansible, you must create a Script or Ansible connection to access your target endpoints. Connect to Netcool/Impact if you want to link runbooks to Netcool/OMNIbus events.

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.
