CA Service Management

  • 1.  Process Approval

    Hi Team!

     

    I want to disable the action and the rule (On Service Catalog) that call to Approval Process, I need this because the Approval must be customized but I don't know which is the rule or action.

     

    After submit a request and see the "tracking tab" there is two Process on the list; Approval (I don´t need this) and "Alquiler_PC" 

     

    Do you know where the action that calls the process "Approval"?

    I saw on "Home>Administration>Events-Rules-Actions>Rule list  Request/Subscription Item Change", every rule but I don't found anything.

     

    Thank you.

    Good Morning Wicner.
     
    Please check the following settings/definitions in the CA Service catalog(SC) UI.
     
    Administration>Events-Rules-Actions(ERA)
    Event Type Name: Request/Subscription Item Change
    Rule           : When Status is Submitted and Approval Process is driven by Workflow
    Open the 'Enabled' action and see; 'Start Request Form: /CA SLCM/approval'
     
    Kind regards, Louis van Amelsfort.

    Good Morning Wicner.
     
    This information can also be retrieved from the mdb database.
    Please check the below and let me know your findings.
     
    The question:
    You set 'workflow drive approval process' for a service.
    Where do you specify which PAM process to be triggered/started/executed?
     
    In the SC-UI: SC/Admin/Event-Rules-Actions:
    Event  - Request/Subscription Item Change
    Rule   - When Status is Submitted and Approval Process is driven by Workflow
    Action - Launch Approval SRF
     
    The action shows the type='CA Process Automation'. And the name shows the PAM process name.
     
    SELECT type,action,display_name,description,is_system,rule_id
    FROM mdb.dbo.usm_rule_action
    where display_name like '%Launch App%'
    With the Result:
    - JAVA
    - com.ca.usm.workflow.util.ITPAMAction,procDefName=/CA SLCM/SRF/Approval,RequestID=$request_id$,RequestItemID=$id$,AssigneeIDList=,EscalationID=
    - Launch Approval SRF
    - Launch CA Process Automation start request form for approval of service
    - 1
    - BILL_CHANGE_WF_ALL_SUBMIT
     
    Next query:
    SELECT rule_id,status,display_name,description,event_type_id
    FROM mdb.dbo.usm_rule
    where rule_id = 'BILL_CHANGE_WF_ALL_SUBMIT' (taken from the above result)
    With the result:
    - BILL_CHANGE_WF_ALL_SUBMIT
    - 1
    - When Status is Submitted and Approval Process is driven by Workflow
    - Rule with filter that fires once for each service when a request is submitted for approval (WFAllSubmit)
    - BILL_SUBSCRIPTION_CHANGE
     
    Next query:
    SELECT event_type_id,display_name,description,event_name,nsp_path
     FROM mdb.dbo.usm_rule_event_type
    where event_type_id = 'BILL_SUBSCRIPTION_CHANGE' (taken from the above result)
    With result:
    - BILL_SUBSCRIPTION_CHANGE
    - Request/Subscription Item Change
    - When a Request/Subscription Item is modified
    - MODIFIED
    - BILL_SUBSCRIPTION_CHANGE
     
    This is an ootb definition. Which can only be edited in a 'limited' way.
    The good practice then is to create(or copy) this into a new one.
    And then change the new one with your own details.
    Then DISable the ootb definition and ENable the one you created.
     
    Kind regards, Louis.
