This document covers the Symantec Asset Management Workflows that ship with Asset Management 7.1. There are three workflows out of the box: Hardware Request, Software Request, and Ownership Validation. This document will cover configuring the workflows and assume the following:
The workflows reside on the Symantec Management Platform that has Asset Management Solution installed. In this example, my workflow server and my SMP are different systems. I will need to publish the workflows on my workflow server.
The workflows are found in the directory that Altiris is installed in, in this case it is d:\program files\Altiris\AssetManagementWorkflows\WorkflowsPacks. These directory looks like the following:
These steps need to be repeated; in this document we will only cover publishing one of those workflows. To publish a workflow follow these steps:
In the 7.0 version of these workflows there was an MSI that installed, published and launched the PostInstall setup wizard to perform the configurations needed. We will launch the wizard manually.
The workflows are created under a new Service Category called Asset Management and look like the following:
Using these workflows will be covered in a video or an additional article
Hi jjesse,
I have another doubt, after publishing a workflow to the console what we can do with that published workflow in the console. what i know that published workflow we can run as a webservice, do you know anything more than this. This is regarding to version 7.1 only.
Thanks.
Sorry i don't know the answer to your question
hi jjesse,
in workflow 7.0 version there is an option like publish workflow as a task to the symantec console by using that we can run our published workflow as a task in the manage-->jobs and task-->workflow type there we will get a dropdown list in the dropdown we will get our published workflows, then we can run those as a task. But in workflow 7.1 version i did not get the relevant information. i hope you got this.
a bit confused about your question can you give me more information?
