The present invention relates to the field of operation of Information Technology (IT) resources 11 , and the area of automation software. In particular, it relates to a method and respective system for performing a reconfiguration of a plurality of resources ( 11 ), wherein said resources ( 11 ) reside on multiple different system platforms ( 10, 12, 14 ) including a mainframe, with a policy-based automation manager. In order to provide a reconfiguration method with an improved switching facility between such configurations it is proposed to perform the steps of: a) using a predefined ( 410 ) automation choice group ( 48 ) as a part of a predetermined automation policy, wherein said automation choice group ( 48 ) has at least two different members ( 46, 50 ) and each member represents an alternative set of resource configurations, wherein at most one member is allowed to be active at a time, b) pre-selecting one group member ( 46 ) as "preferred" to be activated in case a predetermined automation choice group is determined for operation, c) and providing a user interface ( 56 ) for triggering a reconfiguration of said resources ( 11 ) according to said automation policy, d) initiating an automatic change from a first resource configuration into a second resource configuration, when said trigger is actuated.
