- Parse the data from UCS and map them to UCMDB, then report CIs to UCMDB
- Iterate steps 2-3 over the rest of URLs
Troubleshooting
Issue: You receive the following error message in the Communication log: URLError: <urlopen error (-1, 'SSL handshake exception
Solution 1: Https server does not own a valid SSL certificate (for example, self-signed certificate or expired), for this case, make sure enable the Trust All SSL Certificates options in current used UCS credential.
Solution 2: The server is not an Https server but you enabled the SSL in the credential. Disable the Use HTTPS for connection option for the credential.
