Automation Script to reset user's Start Centers

In a previous post I have explained how to force the reload of a the start center for a specific group of users.
I have now developed a useful automation script that can be invoked from the Security Group application to automatically perform this task with just one click.
Register the script as a Script with an Action Launch Point and link it to a sigoption and to a menuaction, toolbar icon or application button as described in this post or this one.


# Reset users Start Centers
# Object: MAXGROUP
# Resets the Start Centers for all users assigned to the selected Security Group
# Should be called when all users are logged off so the start center is reloaded after the login
# See: http://maximodev.blogspot.com/2012/11/how-to-reset-users-start-centers.html

from psdi.server import MXServer
from psdi.mbo import MboConstants
from psdi.util.logging import MXLoggerFactory


def deleteSc(objectName, where):
 scSet = MXServer.getMXServer().getMboSet(objectName, mbo.getUserInfo())
 scSet.setWhere(where)
 logger.debug("Deleting rows from " + objectName)
 # disable logging of large fetch result set to avoid FetchResultLogLimit errors
 scSet.setLogLargFetchResultDisabled(True)
 scSet.deleteAll()
 scSet.save()


logger = MXLoggerFactory.getLogger("maximo.maximodev")
logger.debug("Entering ASSET_INIT script")

logger.info("Entering ASTS_RESET_STARTCENTER")
grpname = mbo.getString("GROUPNAME")

where1 = "scconfigid IN (SELECT scconfigid FROM scconfig WHERE groupname='" + grpname + "')"
where2 = "layoutid IN (SELECT layoutid FROM layout WHERE " +where1+ ")"


deleteSc("RSCONFIG", where2)
deleteSc("FACONFIG", where2)
deleteSc("INBXCONFIG", where2)
deleteSc("KPILCONFIG", where2)
deleteSc("KPIGCONFIG", where2)
deleteSc("ACTIONSCFG", where2)
deleteSc("PORTLETDISPLAY", where2)
deleteSc("LAYOUT", where2)
deleteSc("SCCONFIG", where1)
