involves accessing the target systems. The automation-tool element

can optionally specify a category element, a menu-category

element, a description element, a comment element, an owner

element, a default-target element, an execute-as-user element, a

job-display-handler element, a default-parameter element, a

role-enabled element, zero or more role elements, zero or more

include-filter elements, or zero or more env-variable elements.

If more than one of these elements are specified, the element

must appear in the order as listed in this definition. The

automation-tool element must contain an automation-block element.

The automation-block element must appear after the previously

described optional elements, if any of the optional elements are

specified. Following the automation-block element, one can

specify zero or more attribute elements. -->

<!ELEMENT automation-tool (category?, description?, comment?, owner?,

default-target?, execute-as-user?,

job-display-handler?,

toolbox-enabled?, toolbox*,

role-enabled?, role*,

include-filter*, automation-block,

attribute* ) >

<!-- In addition to the previously described elements, the

automation-tool element specifies the following attributes. The

name attribute specifies the tool name and must be specified in

the automation-tool element. The visible attribute specifies

whether the tool is visible for running. By default tools are

visible. The max-targets attribute specifies the maximum number

of targets against which a tool can run. The revision attribute

allows a tool author to specify a revision for the tool. Note

that this is for information only. The job-log attribute

specifies whether the results of the command will be kept in this

systems job log. When job-log="true" the job and target status

for the tool will be kept for a relatively lengthy system-defined

period in the database after the job completes. When

job-log="false" only the last completed copy of the job and

target status for the tool will be kept in the cache for a much

shorter period of time, and will not be written to the database.

Job logging is enabled by default. The schedulable attribute

specifies whether the tool can be run as a scheduled task. When

schedulable="false" the tool can only run as a "run now" task.

Tools are schedulable by default. The guid attribute specifies a

globally unique identifier (GUID) for the tool. Because the

system generates a GUID for a tool during the add operation, this

field should only be specified during a modify operation. The

accepts-targets attribute specifies whether the tool

accepts targets for execution. The accepts-targets attribute is

true by default. -->
