Asset process automation

Automatic server actions execute multiple-step operations in Censhare. Actions are triggered by defined events and executed on all assets that match the trigger event condition. Learn how to configure the events and optional asset filters for automatic server actions.

Configuration entries of type AutoExecute are used to configure functional modules of the Censhare system, that are to be triggered automatically by rules.

This document describes how process limits, work package size, and parallel execution are working in Censhare asset automation.

Configuration entries of type Preference are not triggered by users or rules, but simply provide configuration data to system components. Some server modules that possess configuration files of types ServerAction and AutoExecute, have additional configuration files of type Preference, usually because the configuration parameters are very extensive or dynamic.

Asset automation comes with the configuration option fork_sync in the Censhare Admin Client. Learn how commands and the setup in fork_sync mode work. With the fork_sync mode, the main command still exists after a forked command was canceled.

With this module, you can collect statistics about defined events.

Asset update events should be only triggered on remote servers after the CDB has finished updating.

Many use cases require data modeling in asset structures. For example, in products and layouts. The change detection allows to detect changes in asset structures in the root assets of a structure and triggers a subsequent event.
