Runbook Scripts need to be configured so that Analysts can execute the scripts on the Configuration Items (CIs). The configured scripts are used in Runbook Automation (RBA). As an Administrator, you need to configure the scripts, specify target platform, and add commands that need to be executed through the script. You need to run the ‘Incident Smart Action’ job in the Custom Scheduler. This option is useful for issuing operational commands as well (besides diagnostic ones), such as restarting processes, changing supervisor parameters, and so on.
