Working with Administration

The Administration topic in Enterprise Manager's Navigation Panel gives you access to editors for defining and maintaining the core configuration objects that OpCon uses to run automation: schedules, jobs, machines, machine groups, resources, thresholds, global properties, calendars, and server options.

note

Each editor is visible only when your OpCon role grants the corresponding function privilege. For details, refer to Departmental Function Privileges in the Concepts online help.

Select any Administration item in the following graphic to learn more.
