Set up an inactive clients group

Description

This utility enables you to automatically generate a list of all clients that are not a member of any policy and move or link the clients into a user-definable host group.

Usage

execute server_mgmt_pkg.setupInactiveClientsGroup 
('<host_group_to_traverse>','<inactive_clients_group>', 
<move_or_copy_flag>);

Example: exec setupInactiveClientsGroup('/Global/Corp',NULL,0);

Where:

host_group_to_traverse is the full pathname to the host group hierarchy to traverse looking for inactive clients, for example /Aptare/hostgroup1.

inactive_clients_group is the full pathname to the host group into which the inactive clients will be moved or linked. The default value for this parameter is NULL (which should not be within quotes). If set to NULL, the utility automatically creates a host group called Clients Not In Policy within host_group_to_traverse.

move_or_copy_flag can be set to 0=Link (copy) clients or 1=Move clients. If set to 0, the utility links the clients to the inactive_clients_group and keeps the clients in their original host group location. If set to 1, the utility moves all the inactive clients from their current host group location and consolidates them into the inactive_clients_group.
