Automation in the BI enterprise

[vinayakgole]

Hi Everyone,

I have been thinking if there are any typical automation tasks that can be carried out in a standard BO 4.1 environment.

Can you please help with what has been your experience? Typical candidates seem to be

1. Migrations

2. Security

Anything else which seem to be potential candidates for automation.

Would automation require BO SDK?

Thanks and best regards,

Vinayak

Hello Vinayak,

I have documented most of day to day tasks of the Administrators in the blog below. You can also try to automate them.

Yes. In most of the cases you need SDK, however you can also try to utilize Program Objects where ever applicable. Check this too

Thanks

And if you do write a Java runnable .jar to do some of this (I've successfully done this a number of times!) be sure your class inherits from IProgramBase from the SDK.  If you don't, you will not be able to run the program through BO.

Hi,

Automation can be used pretty much in many things. Automated tools can be used during code remediation in various upgradation, migration projects. Compared to manual process, they are more effective, saves time and needs less resources.
