Create routines to automate an action when an event occurs.

  1. In SystemLink Enterprise, click Analysis » Routines.
  2. Click Create routine.
  3. In the Create routine window, enter a name and description for your routine.
  4. Specify the workspace for which you want to associate the routine.
    Note Notebook automations run with the permissions of the user who created the routine. These permissions remain true regardless of who interacts with the routine. Users that can access the workspace of the routine can also enable that routine. Therefore, if a user with administrator permissions creates a routine, other users with fewer permissions can still enable that routine.
    Note Tag value events only trigger for tags contained within the selected workspace.
  5. Specify the event you want SystemLink Enterprise to monitor for the event configuration.
    Option Description
    At a specified date and time The event triggers on a specific cadence.
    File uploaded The event after a new file upload.
    File metadata changed The event after an update to an existing file.
    Tag value updated The event after a tag value update.
  6. Configure the event details.
  7. Specify the automation you want SystemLink Enterprise to run for the routine automation configuration.
    Option Description
    Execute a notebook

    This automation action executes a Jupyter notebook.

    If the notebook does not appear, ensure the following:
    • You published the notebook to a workspace you can access.
    • You assigned one of the following interfaces to the notebook.
      • Periodic Execution: use this interface for time-based events.
      • File Analysis or Test Data Extraction: use these interfaces for file-based events.
    Generate alarm

    This automation action generates an alarm that is based on the conditions of the routine.
  8. Configure the automation details.
  9. Click Create.
After creating the automation routine, complete one of the following actions:
  • If you selected Execute a notebook, navigate to Analysis » Executions to see executions for your routine.
    Note SystemLink Enterprise preserves up to 16 MB of notebook execution data for seven days. To retain large amounts of execution data, ensure your notebook uploads your data to SystemLink Enterprise.
  • If you selected Generate alarm, navigate to Overview » Alarms to manage any alarm instances generated by your routine.
