Controlling auto discovery using scripts
You can write a series of scripts (in Python, command line batches or PSLang) to control the auto discovery process. For example, you can add your own commands to the end of auto discovery by creating and editing a file named, psupdate_post.psl. The auto discovery scripts must be located in <Program Files path>\Bravura Security\Bravura Security Fabric\<instance>\ script\.
The table below lists the PSLang scripts called by during auto discovery :
PSLang scripts called by psupdate
Script name | When it’s run |
|---|---|
Start | |
psupdate_pre.psl | At the beginning of auto discovery before any tasks are performed. |
Refreshing proxy servers | |
psupdate_updproxy_pre.psl | Before the |
psupdate_updproxy_post.psl | After the |
User listing | |
psupdate_list_pre.psl | Before any connector programs are executed. |
psupdate_list_ < TARGET > _pre.psl | Before the corresponding <TARGET> connector is executed. |
psupdate_listpertarget_pre.psl | After the target specific plugin is run, but before the connector runs. |
psupdate_list_ < TARGET > _post.psl | After the corresponding <TARGET> connector has finished executing. |
psupdate_listpertarget_post.psl | After the connector and the target specific plugin is run. |
Updating the Bravura Security Fabric database | |
psupdate_loaddb_pre.psl | Before the |
psupdate_loaddb_post.psl | After the |
Checking inventory levels | |
psupdate_checkinv_pre.psl | Before the CHECK INVENTORY PLUGIN plugin is executed. |
psupdate_checkinv_post.psl | After the CHECK INVENTORY PLUGIN plugin has finished executing. |
Finish | |
psupdate_post.psl | Run at the end of auto discovery after all tasks are complete. |
RBAC enforcement | |
psupdate_enforcement_list_pre.psl | Run before the |
psupdate_enforcement_list_post.psl | Run after the |
psupdate_enforcement_submit_pre.psl | Run before the |
psupdate_enforcement_submit_post.psl | Run after the |
Update instances | |
psupdate_updinst_pre.psl | Run before updinst is executed. |
psupdate_updinst_post.psl | Run after updinst completes. |
Each of the PSLang scripts listed above are executed by psupdate at the appropriate time.
The psupdate program also looks for similarly-named Python scripts (*.py) and Windows batch file (*.cmd). If the Python or Windows batch file exists, it is run before the PSLang script. For example, psupdate will run psupdate_list_pre.cmd before listing from target systems, if the file exists.
You can choose whether to use Python, PSLang scripts, Windows batch files, or a combination to customize the auto discovery process.
The psupdate_pre and psupdate_post scripts only run during a full auto discovery.
