CH A P T E R1Importing Automation PacksThe Tidal Enterprise Orchestrator Installation and Administration Guide provides instructions forinstalling Tidal Enterprise Orchestrator (TEO) and the core components. During the initial installationof TEO, you can choose to import the automation packs, or import them later from within the Console.The Cisco TEO Automation Pack for Automation for SAP BOBJ Accelerator has a dependency on otherautomation packs so these automation packs must be installed prior to installing the Automation for SAPBOBJ Accelerator automation pack.This chapter guides you through importing the automation packs. It contains the following sections:Note Accessing the Automation Pack Import Wizard, page 1-2 Importing the Core Automation for SAP BW, BWA and BOBJ.tap, page 1-4 Importing the Automation for SAP BOBJ Accelerator.tap, page 1-7 Installing TREX Script Files, page 1-9It is recommended that you review the system requirements and prerequisites before importingautomation packs.
