Deprecated Orchestration activities
These Orchestration activities have been deprecated.
Run Probe
The Run Probe activity launches a MID Server probe on behalf of a document. All Orchestration activities that launch a probe on a target machine are based on the Run Probe activity. Your ServiceNow instance must have access to a MID Server configured to use SSH to run this activity.
Important: This activity is deprecated and is unavailable for new workflows. To replace the functionality of this probe, use the Probe activity template to create a custom activity. Workflows from a previous release that use the Run Probe activity can continue to do so.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Probe | Select a MID Server probe from the list. This is the name of the probe as it appears in the discovery_probes table. |
| Source for probe | Enter the IP address of the host system against which the probe runs (the probe's target). |
| Sensor script | The script to run using the results of the probe. The output from the probe is contained in a variable called output. Any error from the probe is contained in a variable called error. |
SOAP Request
The SOAP Request activity executes a SOAP request on a target server.
Important: This activity is deprecated and is replaced by the SOAP Message workflow activity activity. Workflows from a previous release that use the SOAP Request activity can continue to do so. However, this activity is not available for new workflows.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| SOAP URL | The SOAP endpoint. |
| Username | User name for basic authentication credentials. |
| Password | Password for basic authentication credentials. |
| Envelope Script | Script for setting up parameters for the web service. |
| Sensor Script | The script to execute after the request has been made and a response has been received. |
- Reactivate a deprecated activity
Orchestration activities that were converted to activity packs are deprecated for upgraded and new instances but can be reactivated for use in new workflows. - SOAP Message workflow activity
The SOAP Message activity uses SOAP messages defined in the System Web Services plugin and can call the messages using a MID Server. - Probes used by Orchestration
Certain probes, controlled by MID Servers, perform Orchestration tasks on remote computers, such as restarting a server or creating virtual machines from templates. - PowerShell activities
PowerShell is built on the Windows .NET Framework and is designed to control and automate the administration of Windows machines and applications. - SSH activities
SSH activities allow workflows to perform operations on Linux and Unix computers.
