Rule for delaying scheduled task

[#1]

Enterprise level, mostly IdM system undergo one (or) another dependency application changes (Such as patching, upgrade, DR etc.,) Aggregations will fail due to unavailability/Connection issue of target system. To avoid these failures delaying aggregation is an only option. but delaying aggregation is a manual task & requires certain amount of time. Below Rule Runner Task will help to delay scheduled aggregation task by reducing manual effort.

Step 1:

Create a Custom file & specify Task Schedule which needs to be delayed

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<!DOCTYPE Custom PUBLIC "sailpoint.dtd" "sailpoint.dtd">

<Custom name="Task-Schedule-Custom">

  <Attributes>

    <Map>

      <entry key="TaskSchedule">

        <value>

          <List>

//mention important task schedules (Name of Task Schedules, not Task definition) that needs to be delayed

            <String>Task-Schedule-1</String>

            <String>Task-Schedule-2</String>

           <String>Task-Schedule-3</String>

          </List>

        </value>

      </entry>

    </Map>

  </Attributes>

</Custom>

Step 2:

Below is rule where actually business logic resides.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<!DOCTYPE Rule PUBLIC "sailpoint.dtd" "sailpoint.dtd">

<Rule  language="beanshell" name="Task Schedule Automation">

  <Source>

        import java.util.List;

import sailpoint.object.*;

import sailpoint.object.TaskDefinition;

  import java.util.Date;

//Getting Custom file into rule

Custom taskObj = context.getObjectByName(Custom.class,"Task-Schedule-Custom");

List schedule = taskObj.get("TaskSchedule");

//iterating list of Scheduled task which mentioned in Custom file

for (String taskschedule : schedule)

  {

    TaskSchedule tasksch =(context.getObjectByName(TaskSchedule.class,taskschedule));

//setting how much time wanted to delay

Date date=new Date();

date.setSeconds(172800);

//setting the delay time in seconds (i.e, 172800 = 48 hours)

  tasksch.setNextExecution(date);

context.saveObject(tasksch);

context.commitTransaction();

  }

  return "Success";

    </Source>

</Rule>

Step 3:

After importing both the xmls, Create new Rule Runner task (Setup--> Task--> New Task --> Run Rule ) & select Rule (Task Schedule Automation) from drop down & Click on save & execute (only you wanted to delay the task schedule).​
