Run process workflow action to perform event-driven reconciliation

Apart from running reconciliation jobs manually or by scheduling them, you can use a run process action with an active link, filter, or escalation. This is one method of performing event-driven reconciliation.

The Application-Command Reconciliation command enables you to run jobs from the command line.

You can use the command parameters to dynamically substitute datasets or qualifications as described in Dynamic dataset and qualification values in event-driven reconciliation jobs.

Use the following syntax:

The <action> initiated by the command can be:

• Trigger-Job — Starts the specified job.
• Cancel-Job — Cancels the specified job if it is running.
• Pause-Job — Pauses the specified job if it is running.
• Resume-Job — Resumes the specified job if it is paused.

The following table describes the parameters used with the Application-Command Reconciliation command.

For example, to start a job named Merge Datasets, use the following command:

You can enter multiple class-qualification pairs and dataset pairs. For example, if the Merge Datasets job is defined to merge the BMC Configuration Import dataset into the BMC Asset dataset but you want to run it using the TestSource and TestTarget datasets, respectively, you would use the following command:

Qualifications must be specified in  internal representation. To convert a qualification string into an internal representation, you can use the Application-Parse-Qual-L Run Process command.
