Example for Alert Workflow

The CheckLicenseJob template can be used to implement a workflow to alert about license expiration:

• Jobs based on the CheckLicenseJob template do not fail if the underlying check proves an expired license.
• Instead, the CheckLicenseJob template provides Return Variables that can be inspected to determine further execution of jobs in a workflow.
• JS7 offers the JS7 - If Instruction to check the values of Return Variables and to decide what instructions to execute next.

Download (upload .json): pduCheckLicenseJITL.workflow.json

The workflow implements

• The license check from its first job,
• followed by an If Instruction that checks the returnCode variable to determine if an e-mail should be send,
• finally will send an e-mail if return code 2 or 3 indicate license expiration.

Documentation

The Job Documentation including the full list of arguments can be found from: https://www.sos-berlin.com/doc/JS7-JITL/CheckLicenseJob.xml

Authentication

The Job makes use of the JS7 - REST Web Service API that is available from JOC Cockpit. 

• The job is executed with an Agent and requires a network connection to JOC Cockpit.
• The job has to authenticate with JOC Cockpit, for the related configuration see JS7 - JITL Common Authentication.
