Automating enabling and disabling subscriptions - assure_mimix - Latest

You can programmatically enable and disable subscriptions through the use of scripts provided by the Assure Unified Interface, available for each platform where the Assure UI server runs. The scripts can be used within user-provided programs or scripts to automate the enabling or disabling of subscriptions.

Requirements:

• The user that calls or runs the scripts must be a user known to the Assure UI server, and must have the proper credentials (user ID and password) to access the platform on which the Assure UI server resides. Once the user is authenticated on the platform, the user will be able to use the scripts.

• When the Assure UI server is on an IBM i platform, the script must be run from QSHELL.

The location of the scripts is as follows:

• On IBM i: /visionsolutions/http/vsisvr/httpsvr/bin

• On Windows: c:\program files\visionsolutions\http\vsisvr\httpsvr\bin

The name of the script is manageSubscriptions. When the script is called with the -e parameter, subscriptions that match the other filtering parameters are enabled. When the script is called with the -d parameter, subscriptions that match the other filtering parameters are disabled.

The following table displays the other parameters that may be entered.

To enable subscriptions, enter the -e parameter.

Examples:

• This command will enable all subscriptions for a specific subscription owner for a specific instance:

manageSubscriptions -e -o ownername -i instancename

• This command will enable a specific subscription for a specific subscription owner:

manageSubscriptions -e -o ownername -s subscriptionname

To disable subscriptions, enter the -d parameter.

Examples:

• This command will disable all subscriptions for a specific subscription owner:

manageSubscriptions -d -o ownername

• This command will disable all MIMIX subscriptions for all subscription owners:

manageSubscriptions -d -p MIMIX
