Scheduler for completion of pending tasks

I am wondering if there is a scheduler (OOB or custom) which is developed for completion of pending tasks. I have a lot of pending tasks in my queue. How can I have them cleared programatically?

You can schedule wsretry job to periodically complete pending tasks. This would work for all pending tasks which are for applications that are setup for automated provisioning.

The WSRetry will help in clearing or marking the tasks related to online or auto provisioning marked as completed. I am looking for the offline or taks which require manual completion.

Are you looking at automatically completing manual tasks through a job without manually completing them? Can you please explain the use case?

Are you looking at an option in UI to complete tasks in bulk?

Yes, I am looking to automatically complete manual tasks. I am specifically looking for a scheduler. If not then a way where I can do a bulk update using Saviynt UI.

Thanks

I am curious to understand your use-case. Why would you automatically close manual tasks? Currently there is no way to complete multiple tasks in UI, but we are looking to add it in next version of the product.

I believe there are many a scenarios where one would require this feature. 1. We could have bots perform the manul fulfillment tasks where in post an email or other confirmation from the application team of completing the task the bot would go and mark the request complete. If we want the bots to work on nightly basis this would require bulk completion of open tasks 2. My scenario is migration. I am leveraging the Request for Multi User functionality to move the account and entitlement assignment from a source to a target system. The ADMIN feature does no validation and secondly with the request based model I have an aydit trail of these records linked as part of migration. However since I have large number of disconnected applications which have huge number of accounts and entitlement assignments I need a mechanism to ensure that I am able to complete these tasks automatically as I do not need to validate each task. Duting migration I have taken care of the data which I need to move ibto Saviyny. With thousands of tasks open per disconnected application completing these tasks is a nightmare. There are API's available to mark a task complete howver that involves coding and I am not sure how I can get that code to run within Saviynt at a pre-defined or at an abrupt interval. An SQL query would also help to help me execute the SQL Query based scheduler. Any thoughts on SQL?

You can auto-complete tasks for disconnected applications, by following security system settings:

• Set Automated Provisioning as Enabled
• Leave Provisioning Connection empty

Next time you run WSRETRY for the security system, it will auto-complete all pending tasks.
I hope this helps you.
