ClosedWorkflow
  1. Read ucs_url_list.conf and parse it to a list of URL.
  2. Pick one URL and try all UCS credentials one by one until connected, then fetch data from UCS by its XML API
  3. Parse the data from UCS and map them to UCMDB, then report CIs to UCMDB
  4. Iterate steps 2-3 over the rest of URLs
ClosedTroubleshooting

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 to enable the Trust All SSL Certificates options in the 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.
