Is it possible to disable then re-enable a Business Rule from a Scheduled Task?

For example, when the Scheduled tasks starts, it disables a Business Rule, runs the Task(s), then re-enables the Business Rule when done.

Hello,

That is not the best approach. Do you understand that in this case, while the task is running, the Business Rule won't be applied at all, even if a user performs an action that triggers the Business Rule manually?

Instead, we suggest adding a condition to your Business Rule so that the rule actions won't be triggered by the Scheduled Task. That is, you need to add a condition that will prevent performing the actions if the initiator of the operation is the Scheduled Task. To do this:

I. Copy the Distinguished Name (DN) of your Scheduled Task

To add such a condition, first, you need to copy the task DN:

  1. In the Console Tree of the Administration Console, navigate to and select your Scheduled Task.
  2. Right-click it and select Properties.
  3. Click Advanced.
  4. Copy the DN in the Object DN field.

II. Add condition to the Business Rule

To add the condition:

  1. In the Console Tree of the Administration Console, navigate to and select the Business Rule you need.
  2. In the Result Pane (located to the right), select a set of actions/conditions that should not be performed when an operation is performed by the task.
  3. Right-click it and select Add Condition.
  4. Select If the initiator is User and click Select User.
  5. Activate the Template tab and paste the Scheduled Task DN you've copied on step I in the Template field.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Select is not.
  8. Click OK again and save the changes.
