Remotely 'Take Action' on Select Fixlets

(imported topic written by SystemAdmin)

Hello guys/gals,

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on how to ‘take action’ on fixlets without using the TEM console. I’m looking to automatically deploy some software packages once a machine has come back online from being reimaged with a new operating system. This way I can have the software that I want on the machine immediately after the image process is complete.

Currently, I have some relevance code that will:

a) make sure the software package(s) I want are relevant to the new machine by its hostname and a text file with the software packages for that specific machine

and

b) make sure that the software package(s) are not deployed again on other relevant machines that already have the software packages that I want on the newly imaged machine.

I’m just not sure how to trigger these software deployment packages without doing it manually inside the TEM console.

Alternatively, I was thinking about making multiple baselines with the software package deployments, but I was unsure how to remotely trigger a baseline.

Thanks Everyone,

Ilithis
