Administering Cloud EPM: The Platform Beneath the Business Processes · Module 11 · Automation
Lab: automate it, and write the runbook
Lesson 133 of 201 · 2 min
An hour and three quarters, and the last deliverable is the one that outlives you. Nine of them. An automation inventory for Northwind: every recurring task, the tool chosen, and the reasoning. At least two tasks scheduled in Job Scheduler, with failure notification configured. The command-line utility installed and configured with encrypted credentials — or, on the follow-along path, a complete configuration and script plan. A backup script implementing the Lesson 6 pattern: date-stamping, external storage, retention. A load script implementing the Lesson 7 pattern: pre-checks and inter-step status checks. Error handling and logging on both scripts, with a demonstrated failure producing a readable log and an alert. A service account defined, with its role assignment placed in the Module 6 group model and its credential rotation stated. A schedule that respects the maintenance window. A COMPLETED AUTOMATION RUNBOOK — FOR EACH AUTOMATION: PURPOSE, TOOL, SCHEDULE, OWNER, EXPECTED OUTCOME, FAILURE…
