Overview
Automic Administrator Essentials is the foundational course from Tricise University for everyone who installs, configures and administers Broadcom Automic Automation. Participants build a complete Automic environment on Windows from scratch: they install the Java JDK, configure ODBC and TLS certificates, set up the Service Manager, the Automation Engine and the agents, and finally configure the web server for the Automic Web Interface (AWI). The course also covers the Automic Utilities for database maintenance, archiving and client management.
The agenda follows the phases of an installation — architecture, preparation, implementation and post-implementation — and the course is available in English and German, either as video-based self-study with a hands-on virtual lab or as a trainer-led course. No prior Automic experience is required, but basic IT knowledge is strongly recommended because the course covers technically in-depth installation topics. Automic Administrator Essentials was previously known as Automic Admin Fundamentals and has been fully revised and relaunched under the Tricise brand.

Who should attend
Automic Administrators & System Owners
Professionals responsible for the installation, configuration and operation of the Automic environment.
IT Infrastructure & Platform Teams
Staff who integrate and operate Automic within an existing IT landscape.
Database Administrators
Those who manage, archive and migrate the Automic database.
New Automic Administrators
Beginners who want to learn a complete Automic installation on Windows in a structured way.
No prior Automic experience required. Basic IT knowledge is strongly recommended: Windows system administration (services, networking, file systems) and a fundamental understanding of database concepts (SQL, ODBC, JDBC). Knowledge of network and security concepts such as TLS, firewalls and certificates is an advantage. Familiarity with Automic core concepts, for example from the Automic User Essentials course, is recommended but not mandatory.
Learning outcomes
Plan and prepare the installation
Participants understand how the AE, the database, the agents and the AWI interact, know the roles of the PWP, WP, JWP and JCP processes and the client concept, and can plan system requirements, network ports, firewall rules and virtual machines before the first component is installed.
Install and secure the core components
By the end of the Automic Administrator Essentials course, attendees can install a compatible Java JDK, set up ODBC and JDBC connectivity, create TLS certificates, use CAPKI for secure connections, and deploy the Service Manager, the Automation Engine and OS agents in a structured installation sequence.
Maintain and validate the environment
Participants leave the course ready to choose and configure a web server for the AWI, use the Automic Utilities for database maintenance, migration and client copies, and validate operational stability through system logs and tests of the core components.
