This document explains the elements for creating a start/stop automation at a high level.
...
When creating new start/stop automation procedures, always test on OZsoft tenant first.
Elements of Start/Stop
Impersonating as OZSoft admin, navigate to Management → Automation → Definition and expand the menus
...
Process Definitions
The process definition is the core and the first step of the start/stop process. It is where the instruction that the automation will follow will be coded. Several process definitions make up a workflow.
...
Form Templates
The form template is where you instruct which variables, fields, or data will serve as input parameters for the start/stop wizard.
...
Execution Configs
Execution configs are a list of variables that you pre-configure to use in the future, for example, if you’re going to schedule a process to run in the future. Ad-hoc execution configs won’t appear on this list.
Wizard
The wizard in IT-Conductor is a combination of the form template and the process definition. It’s where the user will launch the start/stop workflow.
...
Dashboards
You may design a dashboard for start/stop automation like the one for OZsoft where the users can see all the elements related to performing a start/stop process
...
Start/stop process
Create process definitions and assemble the workflow
Impersonate as OZSoft admin
...
Command: This is the core and main instruction of the process definition. You can use both Linux and SQL commands for start/stop processes. 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 variable will be used later in the form template.
Adding verifications to the workflows
You can also create a verification process definition.
...
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.
...
Adding jobs to the workflow
You can create process definitions for running jobs/programs. This job is launched via the interface with ABAP.
...
Job name: It’ll be assigned by default after creating the job step
Creating form templates
Have ready the fields, variables, and data that you identified as inputs while assembling the workflow, as these will be the parameters you’ll use in the form template.
...
Add elements by clicking on the “+” to the right, or to edit the template, select a row and click on “Modify row.”
...
Creating the Wizard
The creation of the wizard is divided into three steps:
...
Same as with process definitions and form templates, you may copy an existing wizard and modify the “Input parameters” and “Create process” steps, and change the name, description, process definition, and form template.
...
Adding Start/Stop Wizard tile to a Dashboard
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), or by going to the dashboard tiles button and selecting the Wizard
