Ignore Non Imported Failed Endpoints

Symptom:

When I import endpoints, offline endpoints without last known successful configurations cause the import process to fail.

Solution:

Modify an existing import process to ignore failed endpoints.

In the Workpoint Designer, alter the import process flow by creating a step that ignores failed endpoints. In the Portal, you associate the modified import process for endpoints.

Follow these steps:

1. In the Workpoint Designer, rename and modify a process.
   1. Go to Start, Programs, CA, Role & Compliance Manager, Server, Workpoint Designer.
   2. Navigate to File, Open, Open Processes.

      The Open Process tab displays.

   3. Locate and double-click the Run Single Import process (ID 46:WPDS).

      The 46:WPDS (BBSingleImport) Run Single Import process appears.

   4. Save the process with a new name and reference name.

      Example:

      Run Single Import (Ignore Failed), BBSingleImportIg

   

2. Duplicate the Run Connector? default building block (BB) and modify the Properties.
   1. Copy paste the Run Connector? BB.
   2. Right click the BB, select Properties, and in the Activity Properties (Process) window, select the General tab.
   3. In the Name field, rename the BB as Ignore Failed Connector, and click OK.
   4. Right click the BB, select Properties and in the Activity Properties (Process) window, select the User Data tab.
   5. In the Name field add the user data name as isRCMJobParameter, and in the Value field add the value as flow.import.boolean.ignoreFailedConnectors.
   6. Click Add, and OK.

      The user data is saved.

   7. Right click the BB, select Properties and in the Activity Properties (Process) window, select the RCM Parameters tab.
   8. Click Add.

      The New RCM Property window appears.

   9. Enter flow.import.boolean.ignoreFailedConnectors in the Property Name field, and click OK.

      The property is listed in the RCM Parameters tab.

   10. Set the value as false, click Apply and OK.

       The process window displays.

       You have duplicated and renamed the BB, and modified properties.

3. Add the BB to the process.
   1. Drag and drop the Ignore Failed Connector BB between the Send No Last Configuration Email and Set Connector Failed 3 BBs.
   2. Set the transition between Ignore Failed Connector and Set Connector Failed 3 steps as Conditional, select the Use an existing script option and in the Name field select No and click Finish.
   3. Set the transition between Ignore Failed Connector and wait for all primaries ended 4 as Conditional, select the Use an existing script option and in the Name field select Yes and click Finish.
   4. Save the process.

      You have added a BB and modified the process.

      

4. In the Portal, add a Process Mappings.
   1. In the Portal, navigate to Administration, Workflow Settings, Workflow Process Mapping, and add a Process Mappings.
   2. In the Add Process Mappings section, add a name, and description.
   3. In the Workflow Type section, select Import from the drop-down list.
   4. Click Add.

   Nonimported failed endpoints are ignored.
