This document explains the elements for creating a start/stop automation at a high level.
...
Name: Name of step
Owner: All process definitions in a workflow must have a robot user as owner, otherwise the process won’t run. This robot user must have assigned an OS user that can run sudo commands (for Linux) and SQL commands (for Windows)
Work queue: This is where the activity is going to run. For start/stop, make sure to use a dynamic work queue. In this example, it’s running on Linux, so it’s specified in the name DBLINUX. This name will be used later in the form template
Command: This is the core and main instruction of the process definition. You can use both Linux and SQL commands for start/stop processes. sapcontrol? However, it is important that you manually test the command to make sure it works before testing it on the process definition in IT-Conductor. In this case, the name of the database is ORACLE_SID. This name will be used later in the form template.
...
Name: Name of process definition
Owner: Robot user owner of the process definition, as specified before
Left object: Insert the name of the object that’s being verified. In this case, the name of the variable is APPSAP. This name will be used later in the form template.
Criteria: The criteria that the verification is following. is being asked from the object in the “Left object” field
In the example, the criteria is asking if the object’s status id is different than 40. If the criteria is true, then it’ll move on the step to the right. If it’s false, it’ll do the final step and end the workflow.
...
...
In other types of criteria
...
, you can about the system’s class. In this example, it’s asking if the
...
object’s class is from an ABAP system.
...
You can also what other types of criteria to include?
...
In case, it’s an ABAP system, you can create process definitions for running jobs/programs.
...
*it doesn't matter if the sap or the database are in different hosts*en el workflow del ejemplo (start) esta haciendo un paso adicional que es el de verificar si el sistema NO esta disponible (check SAP status), si el status es diferente != 40, entonces sigue con el proceso de start y termina el flujo.*status list: https://gui.itconductor.com/statusList?
*Si el status es = 40, hace la validacion de start oracle db, start sap y pregunta si el sistema es abap.*how does the workflow know that it's an abap system? (la otra opcion es que sea java)the app (in the "left object" field) has a class. los abap classes tienen JCO2 / JCO3 en el nombre
*si el sistema SI es abap, se crea un job step para correr un sap job. this job This job is launched via the interface to abapwith ABAP.
The main requirements of for this job
la app tiene que estar especificada en el work queue
especificar el program name
especificar el user name (el user name debe estar ingresado tmb en las sistem accounts)
job name se pone por default cuando se crea este job step
luego termina el workflowstep are:
Name of step
The object has to be specified on the “Work queue” field
Program name
Owner and User name. The user name’s account has to be specified under the owner (the automation user
...
Job name. It’ll be assigned by default after creating the job step
...
*the command to stop/start java is the same for abap from a subcontrol standpoint and database standpoint
...
To create the form templates you need to have identified the fields, variables, or data that will serve as input parameters for the start/stop wizard.
...
Chances are that there already exists a form template with the necessary inputs, in that case, you may reuse it instead of creating a new one.
Otherwise, you can duplicate the one with the closest parameters. You can see which variable, app, class, or class object the form is calling on the “Property” column. To edit the template, you can select a row and click on “Modify row.”

The Start/Stop automation dashboard for OZsoft has a tile for the Start/Stop Wizards that you can modify by entering the Design Mode (to enter design mode you need to use your admin IT-Conductor account, not impersonate the tenant’s admin).
You can add a Wizard tile to display a few pre-created wizards upfront.
...
, or by going to the dashboard tiles button and selecting the Wizard

How to assign a dashboard to a tenant?
Go to the modify view of the dashboard
...
Specify the following parameters on the dashboard.
Dashboard → Role: demonstration
Menu item → Parent menu: dashboards
General → Tenant: Tenant’s name. Owner: ITC Admin of selected tenant

How to select the items that the Wizard tile will display?

The wizard tile contains the following options:
...
Dashboard: Select the dashboard that it’ll belong to
Title: Name of the tile
Parameters: Insert the id of the tenant that this tile/dashboard will be associated to
...
Menu item: Here you insert the pre-created wizard items that the tile will display. The items are inserted inside a saved search which has the object ids of the pre-created wizards. In the saved search, in “Display mode” you may also select how the wizard items will be displayed on the dashboard. how to create a saved search?

Row: Select the row where the tile will be placed
