Configuring AlloyScan Synchronization Job

Introduced in 2023.2

This page describes how to configure an AlloyScan synchronization job.

To configure an AlloyScan synchronization job, provide the following parameters in the AlloyScan Synchronization window:

General job settings (Settings tab)

• Name: Customize the job name. Default names include AlloyScan Synchronization, AlloyScan Synchronization (1), and so on. Assign a meaningful name as needed.

• Enabled: Select this checkbox to enable automatic job execution.

  TIP: If you prefer manual execution, clear this checkbox, configure the schedule, and use manual execution when necessary. For manual execution details, refer to Managing all Automation Server jobs: To force a job to run.

• Under AlloyScan Authorization, provide the following details about the AlloyScan site and an ordinary AlloyScan user account (with no special permissions required):

  • Site URL: The URL where the AlloyScan site is hosted.

  • Client ID and Client Secret: These parameters are configured in AlloyScan (My Organization > Identity > App registrations) to manage the access of external applications to the resources within AlloyScan.

  • Test Connection: Verify that the AlloyScan site can be connected as specified.

• Under Schedule, set the upload schedule for the AlloyScan Connector to retrieve data from AlloyScan. Click Change to configure the schedule.

On the Processing tab, you configure how the AlloyScan Connector creates and updates Alloy Navigator objects:

Under Workflow, choose workflow Service Actions for the job:

• Under For new computers, click on the three-dot icon and select the default Service Action for creating computers (#2943).
