  • 1.  Is there a Workflow component that will associate a Policy with a Filter?

    I have tried using the Assign Resource Targets To Policy component but it does not seem to work for me.  I need to be able to add newly developed Policies to existing Filters.

    There's a subset of ASDK components that deal with CollectionManagement.asmx (in the tree they're under Symantec/SMP 7/ Web Services, I believe). I think there is a component called Add Inclusions (or something similar). They might be worth a shot.

    I had also tried using the Add Inclusions component.  The result was an error being thrown with the message :

    Server was unable to process request. ---> The item '67c1b3f0-af82-4b88-a1bc-d149e1e30248' could not be included in the collection because it is not of type ResourceItem or INSResourceCollection.

    The guid displayed in the message is from the Policy I was trying to add.

    Hi M Rutledge - try my instructions here in a different post - you may find what you need in the webservice generated components available there.  i think the issues you may run into is that not all policies are structured the same, so you may need a component specifically designed to handle the type of policy you're trying to use.

    You need to assign the existing filters to a resource target, then you'll be able to assign that resource target to your policy with your component passing in its guid. We had to do something similar with patch management for new policies we were creating.
