SRM – Optional Profile Instance

Solved1.13K views4th July 2023Automation SRM SRM Booking Manager srm function SRM resources

Ryan Hepworth [DevOps Advocate]936 5th June 2023 0 Comments

Hi All,

I am trying to set a Profile Instance to optional by setting IsProfileInstnceOptional property to true, using the following link https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Standard_Apps/SRM/srm_advanced_config/Service_Orchestration_advanced/Service_Orchestration_profile_instances.html.

However when confirming a booking and setting the resource that should be optional to "No Resource" it comes back with:" Function TAG Backup Resource assignment is mandatory but no resource was assigned".

Even though I set the Profile Instance of TAG Backup to optional in the Services > Definitions tab.

Does anyone know how to truly make a resource optional?

Thanks

Do you want to make an Resource optional or an profile instance?

In case of an Resource in an service defintion you need to add

under properties:
Options: optional

Then the resource will be optional and you can then choose the No resource.

Thanks Garwin, it’s the resource that we want to be optional

Ryan Hepworth [DevOps Advocate] commented 5th June 2023

Will try that, thanks.

What is the reason for the IsProfileInstanceOptional in the same property list?

Gerwin van der Kamp [DevOps Enabler] commented 5th June 2023

That is for when you want to select an resource but not an profile (book the resource but the profile needed is not yet clear, but the resource is booked)
