Can anyone have workflow for below steps ? 

we would need to run the workflow as the first step and then the workflow would have a box that pops up asking for the name of the Client we want to decommission where we input the client name.

Then we want the workflow to remove the client from all the groups it is part of (with the exception of automated client groups).

Next we want the workflow to turn off backup activity of the client.

Next we want the workflow to add the client to the decommissioned group.

Hey @Allan0105 .  I just chatted with one of our developers who suggested creating a CMR for this.  

It won’t be created right away (and there’s no guarantee any CMR will be made), but the developer was confident.

I created 365888 in your name.  If you ever need an update, you can contact your Account Rep (or just message me/reply here).

@Allan0105 , how far have you gotten in creating this?

We have a bunch of predefined workflow items here:

https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/131495_predefined_activities_for_workflows.html

You could also look into using ExecuteScript to run each portion.

Tagging in @Chris Sunderland  as well.

Hi Mike, 

First step is crossed, getting the pop up to enter client name and that will check the commserver DB. rest trying to figure out.

I know @christopherlecky is amazing with scripting, so he may have some ideas.

I actually already have one that does just this, but I would need to remove all the proprietary information that's in the workflow.

 

I’ll post it in a few days, I’m behind at work as it is. I should be working instead of lurking these forums.
