Legacy: Using the Scheduler with Connectors

After performing the Control Rule Assignment of the created Configurable Rule, you can schedule it to do the monitoring. In the Scheduler, you can use the Target Connector to filter the control-rule assignments by system. The connectors are specified in the following places.

In the Rule Script – This is the list of all the possible connectors that this control can run.
In the Rule – The assigned user chooses either all the connectors defined in the underlying Rule Script or one of the Rule Script’s connectors. If you choose only one of the connectors, this restricts the control to that connector.
In the OLSP – This has a list of connectors together with the parameters for each connector.

Activities

Determining the Connector Used

The following list explains the process the system uses to determine the connector to use:

The scheduler requires pairing the Control Rule Assignment with the OLSP sets of the associated organization.
Process Control must bring together the connectors allowed by the underlying rule and the connectors specified for the OLSP.
The scheduler allows the scheduling of jobs only for those connectors allowed by both the rule and the associated OLSP.
If the OLSP does not have any connectors, the scheduler allows the scheduling of a job for any connector that the rule allows.
If both the OLSP and the rule specify a connector, the system uses any connector valid for both.
If there is no connector in the OLSP, the system uses the connector defined by the rule or rule script.
If a rule does not have any connector, the system uses any connector that is valid for both the rule script and the OLSP.

Example Example

The following table lists examples of the various combinations:

Rule Script Connectors	Rule Connectors	OLSP Connectors	Scheduler Uses This Connector:
A, B, C, D	A	B, C, D	None
A, B, C, D	D	None	D
A, B, C, D	D	D	D
A, B, C, D	Any	B, C	B, C
A, B, C, D	Any	E, F, G	None
A, B, C, D	Any	None	A, B, C, D
A	A	A, B, C, D	A

End of the example.
