Creating a custom process that runs steps on two separate hosts

[jdcarroll15]

I'm trying to figure out how to define a custom process that executes two steps...  the first step will always execute on a specific host (host A) - download a certificate from a CA and store it in a centralized location, and the second step on the desired target operation host (host B)- apply certificate to local keystore.   I know I can create an operation template that executes steps on specific hosts, but I don't want to have to create a separate op template for each host when I have many different hosts that I want to execute the second step for.  There is no relation between Host A and Host B other than where I need the steps to execute.  Is there any way to define a custom process that can be selected as on operation for HostB - and will execute step1 on HostA and step 2 on the selected host (HostB)?

Hey JDCarroll,

thanks for reaching out. I understand that one of your approaches would be to have an operation template defined - but assigned the hosts to execute it on later on. With SP31, we introduced "Dynamic scheduling of operation templates" which should do the trick for you. Can you confirm whether you have tried this out already?

Cheers,
Andreas
