The function that this topic describes might
not be available, depending on how lab management permissions and
client access licenses have been defined for your user account. You must be integrated with external
provider applications that have automation capability (for example,
IBM® Rational® Build Forge® or IBM Tivoli® products
such as Tivoli Provisioning
Manager), to run scripts, projects, or libraries that are configured
in the external provider applications on remote lab resources that
are available in the external systems.
About this task

projects, or libraries
on remote lab resources:
