This section describes how to create and manage steps in the Management
Console.
About Steps
A step is a component of a project. When the project is run as a job, each step is executed in order. A step contains one or more commands and has step properties that affect its behavior.
Step Properties
Step properties specify how to execute a step, handle its output, and what to do upon completion. A step command can also execute another project or library.
Labelling Log Output
Use a prefix in front of output lines to have output listed in a labeled category in the step log.
Launching Projects from Steps
The system provides several different methods for launching a project from a step within another project.
Broadcasting a Step to Multiple Servers
When you have an activity that can be usefully performed on many servers, you can use the broadcast feature to repeat the same step on many servers.
