My clean stale workflow case rule:

A rule I use to test connection on all applications in an environment from rule runner:

import sailpoint.object.*;
import sailpoint.connector.Connector;
import sailpoint.connector.ConnectorFactory;

try{
  
  QueryOptions qo = new QueryOptions();
  List applicationList = context.getObjects(Application.class, qo);
  String resultString = "";

  for(Application application : applicationList){
    //log.debug(application);
    try{
      Connector connector = ConnectorFactory.getConnector(application, null);
      connector.testConfiguration();
      log.debug("Test connection successful on: " + application.getName());
      resultString = resultString + "[OK] Test connection successful on: " + application.getName() + "\n";
    }
    catch(Exception e){
      log.debug("Test connection failed on: " + application.getName());
      log.debug(e);
      resultString = resultString + "[FAIL] Test connection failed on: " + application.getName() + " || " + e + "\n";
    }
  }
  
  return resultString;
}
catch(Exception e){
  log.error("Error when retrieving the applicaiton list: " + e);

My search object contents rule:

/* The premise of this rule is to search the codebase currently live in a SailPoint environment to find code that can't be found in the SailPoint repo or database for whatever reason. Simply change the searchTerm and iteration variables to search for any rules containing the searchTerm. The object searched for can be changed from rule by adjusting the class defined in the context.getObjects call to whatever you are looking for (ex. Workflow.class). */

//Set this to limit the number of objects searched for performance purposes
int iteration = 500;

//Set this to the term you are searching for in the live codebase

  //Make sure to change the object class if you'd like to search something else like workflows

A rule I’ve used to create cloned identities and the rule I use to clean them up:

Hi @zac_adams_iid,
Thanks for sharing the rule to cleanup stale workflow cases. Just wanted to understand what is the impact of there are workflow cases stuck and having these data more than 3-4 months ?
What performance issues we face ?
The perform maintenance job timings will be impacted if we have stale workflow cases ?

Well usually they don’t cause too much of a performance impact as they are pushed along by the perform maintenance task and aren’t something like a rule just running on a thread in the background. However this is all dependent on what your parent workflow is doing! For example, maybe since a workflow case never finishes, a new one is created in an endless loop. There is also an impact in usability as in some cases you’ll see all these old workflow cases in your task results page making it impossible to find what your looking for. Finally you have to remember workflow cases are temporary objects and shouldn’t exist in your DB after their purpose has been filled. You’d be doing your DB teams a favor keeping your tables clean! Hope that answers your question!
