Hi Walter, Unfortunately, there is no way to export from GUI as well in a bulk fashion. I have opened a Request For Enahancement. Can you pls open a case with netapp and add the same to RFE # 841941 ? Regards adai

Hi Walter, Let me summaries what I understood. You want to bulk archive the following to your snaplock device. Execution Status of all or certain number of workflow based on some selection criteria like, time/user etc, like the starttime end time, which user invoked the workflow etc You also want to archive the execution log that you can download today using the Exectuion portal individually. You would like to do both of these programatically or in simpler way instead of gui clicks. If my above summary is correct you basically are expecting one of the folloiwng. A powershell function which can do this Or a Equivalent REST API SQL access I know for sure option b and c aren't available. But let me check on the option a with our Engg team and get back to you on the same. Regards adai

Hi Walter, What kind of external system do you archive them to ? Is it some change management system or source control system ? WFA exposes it cache db schema via a read only user which is documented in the product guide/workflow developer guide. But unfortunatley, that doesnt give access to schema other than the cache. The workflow execution status are store in schema named WFA which is not exposed via the read only user. Regards adai

Hi This is a known issue, this is the root cause of the problem. When you have a datacenter , but no host attached , we get the below mentioned error Error running data acquisition script: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. The workaround for the same is "Removing the empty datacenter" Request you to open a case with NetApp support against bug 736081. Here is the public report for the same with workaround. VMware vCenter data source acquisition fails when the vCenter server includes either no datacenter object or empty datacenter objects DESCRIPTION: VMware vCenter data source acquisition in OnCommand Workflow Automation (WFA) fails and WFA displays the following error messages: 1. "Error running data acquisition script: Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Datacenter'. The argument is null or empty. Supply an argument that is not null or empty and then try the command again." Cause: There is no datacenter object added to a vCenter. 2. "Error running data acquisition script: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression." Cause: There are datacenter objects added to the vCenter, but no host is attached to the datacenters. WORKAROUND: Remove the empty datacenters or datastores from the vCenter server and retry data source acquisition. Regards adai

Sheel, Can you open a case and upload your WFA autosupport along with a backup of DFM database. In case the dfm db is huge due to performance data, pls use the cli below to get db only backup from dfm. The cli to take dfm database only backup excluding PA data is the following. dfm backup create –B Backup taken using the above cli should be restored using the below cli only, else restore will fail. dfm backup restore –R Regards adai PS: The above dfm clis works only on UM 5.2 and later.

Hi Dave, AFAIK, there is no way to delete or remove the default categories that come shipped with WFA. Let me check if there are any hack or workarounds for the same. Can you also explain if you have come across this other customers as well? We are thinking of some enhancements to categories and these input would help us validate our thinking. Regards adai

Hi Sheel, Let me check and get back to you, will have to see if approval point gets executed on a condition. Regards adai

Hi Jakob, Can you give me some more background on what you are trying to do and why you are doing it ? IIRC, when you create a local user in WFA server, you can specify the email address of the user. I will have to check, how the same works in case of AD/LDAP integration. Regards adai

You will have to do a refresh in the workflow to get this details, from the controller to the OCUM and then from OCUM to WFA cache so that the finder return it. Other way I can think of is passing this vlan as a parameter from the command to the next command. Below is the link to the community post where the command to do a on-demand refresh of OCUM and get the same into WFA. Specifically, refer to the post by "sinhaa Jan 28, 2014 8:28 AM" https://communities.netapp.com/message/124437#124437 Regards adai

Hi Alan, Can you pls open a case with NetApp Global support and attach the case # number to the bug id 779692 ? Regards adai

adaikkap · ‎2014-06-26

You mean the credentials ? Regards adai

adaikkap · ‎2014-06-26

Hi Alan, Can you provides us with few more details and also try out the following suggestions. Is this is first time you are connecting the WFA server with OCUM server and it failed ? Or is it a perodic update of OCUM cache in WFA that failed now ? What is the mode of OCUM 5.2 ? Is it 7Mode or Cluster-Mode? Can you try the following suggestions and let us know if it solved your issues ? Try a schema reset in WFA and try to connect again to OCUM Rerun the OCSetup.exe or .sh file ? If both of the above fails, pls open a case with NetApp Global support with the following information. Download a WFA Auto Support and upload it to the case directory. Also pls upload the copy of the OCUM database in the CASE directory as well. Also your problem seem pretty close to the issue detailed in this bugs online report. http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/bol?Type=Detail&Display=779692 Regards adai

Hi David, I suggest you take a look at this thread. https://communities.netapp.com/thread/34113 Esp try the following 2 things. 1. There is an option in Internet Explorer called "Check for publisher's certificate revocation". Removing Check for publisher's certificate revocation fixed the problem as well. 2. Set a proxy as below In my case WFA service was running with an active directory account, because I use some workflows commandlet that needs credentials, as get-service for exemple. So I had to login interactively with this service account and set proxy setting or set via regedit the correct HKEY_USERS Keys [S-1-5-21..........\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] "MigrateProxy"=dword:00000001 "ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001 "ProxyHttp1.1"=dword:00000000 "ProxyServer"="http:// ProxyServername :80" Regards adai

Hi Neils, Is there a specific reason that you are looking at WFA to automate this ? Regards adai

adaikkap · ‎2014-06-12

Does it help if it's moved to a different schema like manageability instead of the storage and cm_storage?

adaikkap · ‎2014-06-12

Hi David, Can you open a case with NetApp Global Support ? So that it can be added to the bug ? Regards adai

Hi Fracois, Are you asking if the time out of minutes is normal ? And looking for a way to reduce it or so ? IIRC, the timeout value for all commands is 600 seconds which is ten minutes. Regards adai

adaikkap · ‎2014-06-01

Thanks Solal, pls share your work once done. Regards adai

adaikkap · ‎2014-05-30

Dave, Unfortunately the documentaion for the same is as well missing in the Online Help. I have filed a defect for the same to capture it in the subsequent release. If you are interested, the defect number is 829719 Regards adai

adaikkap · ‎2014-05-30

Hi Dave, You are right. It can also be stated as below. Export All > Exports all USER CREATED CONTENT ( and not those shipped out of the box ie certified contents) under the DESIGNER Portal which is nothing but workflows and its building blocks (ie Workflow, Finders, Filters, Commands, Templates, Functions, Dictionary Entry, Custom Data Source ) Database Backup > Includes everything ie, DESIGNER, EXECUTION and WFA Configurations What each portal contains DESIGNER: Workflow, Finders, Filters, Commands, Templates, Functions, Dictionary Entry, Custom Data Source EXECUTION: Execution Status, DataSource Configurations, Reservations, Credentials Users ADMINISTRATION: General WFA Configurations Hope this helps. Regards adai Thanks to Abhi Thakur for bringing in the clarity on Export ALL. Only User Created and not those certified.

Hi, Could you help me understand, why you want to do this and whats the usecase you are trying to accomplish by this ? If you could explain your need, we can help you better. I think this can be done. In the meantime I will get back to on how this can be done. Regards adai

adaikkap · ‎2014-05-19

Hi David, At this time, I would recommend you to open a support case with NetApp, using your WFA System ID and ASUP log along with a controller Serial number. I wouldn't recommend posting a WFA cache DB, on the communities. Regards adai

adaikkap · ‎2014-05-19

Hi David, Change tio the advanced mode in the right corner of the reply post. That would allow you to attach files. Regards adai Sent from my NEXUS 7, excuse typos.
