Integrate Automation Tasks

When you integrate Automation Tasks in Workspace Control, you can run specific Automation Tasks in the user workspace, for example to install software or to create user profiles. Automation Tasks can run when a user session starts or when an application starts, but also when a security event occurs.

Settings

  • On the Settings tab, select the Dispatcher detection settings that Workspace Control should use to detect the Automation Dispatchers:
    • Autodetect (only for Automation 2018.x and lower) allows Workspace Control to search for available Automation Dispatchers by sending a multicast signal.
    • Use Dispatcher address list allows Workspace Control to search for specific Automation Dispatchers. If you select this option, you need to specify the IP address of at least one Dispatcher.
  • Integrate with Automation by selecting an Automation Environment.
  • Specify a dedicated Automation login for Automation Authentication. This dedicated login must at least have read permissions on the Modules and Projects nodes in Automation.
  • When you have set up the above settings, you can use the Test now button to test whether you can connect to the selected Automation environment.
  • The Log tab shows a log of all Automation actions, including alerting actions.
  • See the Automation Help for more information about Automation.

  • As of Automation 2019.0, all autodetect functionality has been deprecated. For more information see Dispatcher Detection settings in the Automation Administration Guide.

With the Unified Console, you can easily access the Workspace Control and Automation Consoles from a single view.
