UCSD - Schedule Workflow / Schedule a Future Rollback of a Service Request ID

[Orf Gelbrich]

Task Name	Schedule a workflow / Schedule a workflow for rollback by given SR ID
Description
Prerequisites	Tested on 6.0 New version for 6.6 (v2)
Category	Workflow
Components	vSphere 5.x
User Inputs
Output

Instructions for Regular Workflow Use:

1. Download the attached .ZIP file below to your computer. *Remember the location of the saved file on your computer.
2. Unzip the file on your computer. Should end up with a .WFD file.
3. Log in to UCS Director as a user that has "system-admin" privileges.
4. Navigate to "Policies-->Orchestration" and click on "Import".
5. Click "Browse" and navigate to the location on your computer where the .WFDX file resides. Choose the .WFDX file and click "Open".
6. Click "Upload" and then "OK" once the file upload is completed. Then click "Next".
7. Click the "Select" button next to "Import Workflows". Click the "Check All" button to check all checkboxes and then the "Select" button.
8. Click "Submit".
9. A new folder should appear in "Policies-->Orchestration" that contains the imported workflow. You will now need to update the included tasks with information about the specific environment

A big thank you goes to Tejeswar Sahu for the contribution.

This example will schedule a workflow which in turn will roll back a give service request ID:

The run for the workflows:

}

var map = new HashMap();

map.put(inputIDs[0],inputValues);

var itemData = new WFSchedulerData();

itemData.setActionId(def.getId());

itemData.setInputSetId(inputSetId);

WFSchedulerUtil.addWFSchedulerData(itemData);

logger.addInfo("workflow task "+workflowName+"  Scheduled successfully.");

Please Note:

//As there is no functionality available to add dynamically all workflow input but I have generalized the code as shown in below snipped

//If you need to add more inputs then you can do it by adding map value as shown below

var inputIDs = [];

var inputValues = input.srId;

for(var i=0;i<wfInputDef.size();i++){

inputIDs[i] = wfInputDef.get(i).getName();

}

var map = new HashMap();

map.put(inputIDs[0],inputValues_1);

.

.

.

map.put(inputIDs[1],inputValues_2);

map.put(inputIDs[2],inputValues_3);

As of now I have updated the workflow with single workflow input only

Caveat Note!!!

     Limitations with scheduling, only have one “active” schedule per workflow!

     Ticket is in place to get this fixed.
