"ActiveMatrix Business Works Process" pattern does not correctly parse Tibco variables - Known Error

"ActiveMatrix Business Works Process" pattern does not correctly parse Tibco variables Description The connection section "Create Http Connections" in the ActiveMatrix Business Works Process pattern cannot resolve a Tibco variable defined as the port number

Steps to Reproduce

1 Open Active Matrix Business Works Discovery Pattern 2 Select on Connection Section 'Create Http Connections' 3 Run debug mode 4 Select step 15 Set Host To Our IP 5 Inspect Temporary variable http_conn and look at port column Value displayed is %% %%

For examples of records created, Search for HTTP(S) connection (cmdb_ci_endpoint_http) which name contains %%

Workaround The OOTB pattern, ActiveMatrix Business Works Process, does not cover use cases where Tibco variables are used in the configuration xml files.

While processing the "Create Http Connections" connection section of the ActiveMatrix Business Works Process pattern, if the pattern encounters a Tibco variable for the port number, it will return the name of the variable as the port number. You can identify such cases by noting the name of the variable is in the form of %%Variable_name%%, meaning the name of the variable is enclosed by two %%.

If the variable is defined in a profile file, we can resolved this by extracting the name and value pairs of Tibco variables on a Linux server. The name of the profile is added as an option for --profile .

Within the profile, the client variable is defined in the form of tibco.clientVar. = .

The attached update set has additional steps:

1. Find the location of the profile

2. Create name and value pairs for Tibco client variables in the profile

3. If the http_conn table entries use Tibco client variables, we substitute the value obtained from the above step.

If you encounter an issue that the port number is not resolved using the OOTB pattern, you can use the attached update set to resolve the port number from the profile if the process is launched with the option, --profile
