Automic Automation Product Training for a New Administration Team Member

This course introduces you to the architecture, core functions and design of Automic Automation and its web interface, the Automic Web Interface. It complements the Automic Automation 12.3 Foundations course and parts of their contents overlap. However, whereas the Foundations course is conceived as an interactive tutorial, these videos provide a deeper dive into some of the Automic Automation functions and features. 

This course introduces you to key features to ease you into working in the web interface of Automic Automation.  The videos dive into various aspects of the web interface, showing the basic concepts and useful tips and tricks for everyday use cases.

One of the core principles of Automic Automation is object-oriented design. This course provides a high-level overview of the role of objects and a conceptual explanation of how different objects work together.

Objects are organized in types, each type fulfilling a specific purpose. This series of videos introduces the most common objects and demonstrates how to use them.

In Automic Automation, objects undergo four phases when you execute them. This video-based course explains in detail the execution phases and their individual steps.

In this tutorial, we introduce you to Calendars and Calendar Events in Automic Automation. By assigning Calendar Events to objects, you can determine the dates on which the object will be executed.

You will learn about Calendars, Calendar Events, and how to schedule different types of recurring and non-recurring tasks. The tutorial includes an example with step-by-step instructions for using Calendar Events to automate the execution of a task in a Workflow every fifth work day.

This training helps administrators understand the architecture of the on-prem version of Automic Automation v21. The course describes how to install Automic Automation and provides videos for each step in the sequence.

It includes details on operation system requirements, on each component and sub-component, and on the basic installation configuration. You will gain a good understanding of the role of the INI files and their configurations as well as the various executables and permissions needed to successfully start up an Automic Automation environment.

This course is focused upon helping administrators configure Automic Automation so that users can start working with it. It is a deep dive in some of the most important tasks that an administrator must perform to configure and get an Automic Automation system started.

The course describes and demonstrates how to configure the various INI files, logs and traces, system and Client settings, how to define object templates and transfer objects from one system to another. It explains the Automation Engine processes and how to control them, the Service Manager and the database utilities. It also describes the various Agent authentication methods and, finally, how to upgrade the system and the Agents.

With version 21, Automic Automation introduces comprehensive data encryption between the Automation Engine (AE) and some of its components. While previous versions supported TLS/SSL for some data transfers, this was optional in most of the cases. From Automic Automation 21 onward, TLS/SSL encryption is a requirement. 

Automic Automation's TLS Gateway facilitates the communication between TLS and non-TLS Agents. This video-based, self-paced course describes the TLS Gateway, explains how to configure and install it and demonstrates how it works.

As of version 21, Automic Automation provides two deployment options: The standard binary one and a new container-based option. This course explains Automic Automation Kubernetes Edition (AAKE).

It demonstrates how to deploy Automic Automation to an existing Kubernetes environment. This course includes snippets of code that you can copy and paste to reuse it for your own deployment.

This course explains the Zero Downtime Upgrade (ZDU), Automic Automation's feature to upgrade to a newer version while processes and operations continue as usual.
