Abstract
Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: automatically discovering enablement state variables respectively corresponding to products present in a computer system; processing the enablement state variables and associated values and making a separate file for disabled products; and make available the file for disabled products as inputs to subsequent system administration jobs.
Claims19
A computer implemented method for automating enablement state inputs to workflows, comprising:
- automatically discovering, by one or more processor of a computer, respective values for one or more enablement state variable respectively corresponding to one or more product installed in the computer, wherein a value of a enablement state variable from the one or more enablement state variable indicates whether a product corresponding to the enablement state variable is enabled in the computer;
- loading, by the one or more processor, the one or more enablement state variable and the discovered respective values of the one or more enablement state variable to a first list;
- parsing, by the one or more processor, the loaded first list for each of the one or more enablement state variable and the discovered respective values;
- recording, by the one or more processor, to a second list, a first enablement state variable and a value corresponding to the first enablement state variable in the first list based on ascertaining that a first product corresponding to the first enablement state variable is disabled in the computer;
- and
- writing, by the one or more processor, the second list to an output file such that respective enablement state corresponding to one or more disabled product represented in the output file may be automatically provided to subsequent system administration jobs by user of respective enablement state variable corresponding to the one or more disabled product.

A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium readable by one or more processor and storing instructions for execution by the one or more processor for performing a method for automating enablement state inputs to workflows, comprising:
- automatically discovering, by the one or more processor, respective values for one or more enablement state variable respectively corresponding to one or more product installed in a computer, wherein a value of a enablement state variable from the one or more enablement state variable indicates whether a product corresponding to the enablement state variable is enabled in the computer;
- loading, by the one or more processor, the one or more enablement state variable and the discovered respective values of the one or more enablement state variable to a first list;
- parsing, by the one or more processor, the loaded first list for each of the one or more enablement state variable and the discovered respective values;
- recording, by the one or more processor, to a second list, a first enablement state variable and a value corresponding to the first enablement state variable in the first list based on ascertaining that a first product corresponding to the first enablement state variable is disabled in the computer;
- and
- writing, by the one or more processor, the second list to an output file such that respective enablement state corresponding to one or more disabled product represented in the output file may be automatically provided to subsequent system administration jobs by user of respective enablement state variable corresponding to the one or more disabled product.

A system comprising:
- a memory;
- one or more processor in communication with memory;
- and
- program instructions executable by the one or more processor via the memory to perform a method for automating enablement state inputs to workflows, comprising:
- automatically discovering, by the one or more processor, respective values for one or more enablement state variable respectively corresponding to one or more product installed in a computer, wherein a value of a enablement state variable from the one or more enablement state variable indicates whether a product corresponding to the enablement state variable is enabled in the computer;
- loading, by the one or more processor, the one or more enablement state variable and the discovered respective values of the one or more enablement state variable to a first list;
- parsing, by the one or more processor, the loaded first list for each of the one or more enablement state variable and the discovered respective values;
- recording, by the one or more processor, to a second list, a first enablement state variable and a value corresponding to the first enablement state variable in the first list based on ascertaining that a first product corresponding to the first enablement state variable is disabled in the computer;
- and
- writing, by the one or more processor, the second list to an output file such that respective enablement state corresponding to one or more disabled product represented in the output file may be automatically provided to subsequent system administration jobs by user of respective enablement state variable corresponding to the one or more disabled product.
